After its second loss in three games, Georgia Tech dropped again in the latest Associated Press Top 25 poll, released Sunday.

The Yellow Jackets fell from No. 15 to No. 23 after a 42-28 loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Tech trailed 28-0 in the loss.

Tech has been ranked 11 straight weeks this season. Coach Brent Key’s team debuted at No. 18 on Sept. 14 and rose to No. 8 on Oct. 26 before losing Nov. 1 at North Carolina State.

The 11 straight weeks in the AP Top 25 is the program’s longest stretch since the 1999 season.

The Jackets, No. 16 in last week’s College Football Playoff rankings, face Georgia (10-1), No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings and No. 4 in the AP poll, at 3:30 p.m. Friday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

In the US LBM Coaches Poll released Sunday, Tech was ranked No. 19.

Five ACC teams are ranked in this week’s AP poll, led by Miami at No. 13 and followed by Virginia at No. 17, Pitt at No. 24 and Southern Methodist at No. 25.
