No. 12 BYU Rallies to Beat No. 24 Georgia Tech 25-21 to Win Pop-Tarts Bowl

The matchup features two former College Football Playoff contenders with key injuries and strong betting interest, including BYU aiming for its first 12-win season since 2001.

  • On Saturday, Dec. 27 the 2025 Pop-Tarts Bowl will pit No. BYU Cougars and No. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets at Camping World Stadium in Orlando at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC, featuring two former playoff hopefuls.
  • After Notre Dame Fighting Irish declined the invite, conference pride and missed CFP bids make the bowl a chance for BYU Cougars and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets to claim a postseason win.
  • With LJ Martin sidelined, BYU will use backups Enoch Nawahine, Jovesa Damuni and Preston Rex, while quarterback Bear Bachmeier manages an ankle injury from Dec. 7.
  • College Football HQ projects a 31-26 BYU win that covers the spread, and a BYU victory would give the program 12 wins for the first time since 2001.
  • The Pop-Tarts Bowl will feature three life-sized edible mascot teams, with fans choosing which team is sacrificed and an entire mascot descending into a giant toaster this year.
