I was having a talk with someone last night as far as we haven't felt like Tech has been "out-matched" against a P5 opponent like this in a LONG TIME. So I wanted to take a look at the Top 5 teams that Tech has played dating back to 1990. It hasn't been many, and it's also been an even longer time since Tech has played a team the caliber of Clemson that made the CFP every year from 2015-2022 and won 2 National Championships.
Here are the results:
2014
@ #4 OU - L 48-16
@ #5 Auburn - L 45-17
2010
@ #2 Boise State - L 49-20
2009
v #5 Boise State - L 45-35
2007
@ #2 LSU - L 58-10
2004
@ #4 Miami - L 48-0
2003
vs #3 Miami - L 48-9
2000
@ #4 Miami - L 42-31
1999
@ #1 Florida State - L 41-7
1998
@ #4 Nebraska - 56-27
1993
@ #2 Alabama - L 56-3
1990
@ #5 Auburn - L 16-14
Can Sonny Cumbie reverse the curse and keep one competitive? I hope so! Go 'Dogs!!
