Two is a crucial number for both Georgia Tech and Wake Forest.

The No. 10 Yellow Jackets are chasing the higher prize, needing two wins to clinch a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game. But two victories also would be meaningful for Wake Forest, which is trying to become eligible for its fourth straight bowl trip.

The teams meet Saturday at Bobby Dodd Stadium. Georgia Tech (8-1, 5-1 ACC) has won six straight at its home field, while the Demon Deacons (4-5, 2-3) are trying to shake off a string of close losses -- four coming by a total of 10 points.
