Once again, the invited teams were from the Atlantic Coast Conference (Georgia Tech) and Western Athletic Conference (Fresno State).

The Yellow Jackets were in a transition period between previous head coach Chan Gailey, fired in late November, and new head coach Paul Johnson, hired on December 7. Jon Tenuta, the team's defensive coordinator, coached the "Ramblin' Wreck" in this game.
