Rankings from AP Poll

The 1960 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team represented the Georgia Institute of Technology during the 1960 college football season. The Yellow Jackets were led by 16th-year head coach Bobby Dodd, and played their home games at Grant Field in Atlanta.

After a quick jump to No. 10 in the AP poll after their first two victories, the Yellow Jackets fell on the wrong side of several close games, finishing the year with a disappointing 55 record. The average margin of defeat in their five losses was only 2.2 points, and all were one-score games. Their first loss was to a Florida Gators team that featured Bobby Dodd's son, Robert Jr., at quarterback.
