Today marks the culmination of the Georgia Bulldogs’ 2023 season as they prepare to face the Florida State Seminoles in the renowned Orange Bowl game. Despite both teams being controversially excluded from the College Football Playoff, there remains considerable anticipation surrounding this matchup.
For the Bulldogs, this game follows a recent disappointment, witnessing their impressive 29-game winning streak conclude at the hands of the Alabama Crimson Tide during the SEC Championship, consequently dropping them from the top four and ending their pursuit of a historic three-peat.
Similarly, the Seminoles experienced their own setback after a perfect 13-0 season and an ACC Championship victory, only to be excluded from the playoffs due to starting quarterback Jordan Travis’s season-ending injury, significantly impacting their offensive capabilities.
As the game approaches, the Bulldogs retain heavy favoritism, with Action Network reporting a substantial -19.5 point spread in their favor—a considerable increase from the initial line.
Despite both teams harboring disappointment over missing the College Football Playoff, this rare collision between two football powerhouses holds the potential to become another memorable classic.
