Florida State football returns to the practice field, bringing some normalcy to the program following a snub from the College Football Playoff Committee.
The No. 5 Seminoles (13-0) are ready to put aside the snub with a practice on Tuesday to prepare for the matchup against No. 6 Georgia (12-1) in the Orange Bowl on Dec. 30 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
The matchup will pit the first two teams out of the 4-team playoff against one another.
The Seminoles have won 19 straight dating back to last season and are coming off an ACC Championship victory over Louisville.
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are fresh off their first loss in three years, dropping a close one to Alabama, the 1-loss team that was picked over FSU. Georgia has won 29 of its last 30 games.

Head coach Mike Norvell and student-athlete availability will happen following the Tuesday practice, while Norvell is scheduled to speak following Thursday’s practice.
FSU is scheduled to arrive in Miami next Monday, on Christmas.
