The 2007 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets football team will represent the Georgia Institute of Technology in the college football season of 2007-2008. The team's coach is former Dallas Cowboys, Samford Bulldogs, and Troy Trojans coach Chan Gailey. It plays its home games at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia.

Georgia Tech has posted five consecutive seasons with 7 or more wins under Coach Gailey. The team has been to six bowl games under Chan Gailey and has a 2-3 record in post season play. Under Chan Gailey, Georgia Tech has become notorious for having a blitzing defense and a ball control offense. In 2006 Georgia Tech proved to be slightly inconsistent holding #2 Notre Dame to 14 points (L 14-10) and upsetting #10 Virginia Tech (W 38-27), while losing to unranked archrival University of Georgia (L 15-12).
Head Coach Chan Gailey returns for his sixth year at the helm of the program. Reggie Ball, after four years starting for Tech, will be replaced by Taylor Bennett.[2] Taylor Bennett started his first game against UConn in 2005 after Reggie came down with viral meningitis[3] and had his break out game against West Virginia in the 2007 Gator Bowl.[4] Tashard Choice was the 2006 ACC rushing champion and returns behind a very veteran offensive line that is led by tackle Andrew Gardner and center Kevin Tuminello.
