Georgia coach Kirby Smart lead the team onto the field to warm up before the start of a NCAA college football game against Ole Miss in Athens, Ga., on Saturday, Nov. 11, 2023.
The 2023 Capital One Orange Bowl is set to host a highly anticipated game between the Georgia Bulldogs and the Florida State Seminoles at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida. This game is of particular importance to both teams as they were left out of the four-team College Football Playoff matchups despite being strong contenders for a national title.
Florida State made history by being the first undefeated Power 5 conference champion not to make it to the playoff teams. The Seminoles’ main storyline continues to be who will lead at quarterback after Jordan Travis’ season ended early with a leg injury. Tate Rodemaker took over quarterback duties when Travis exited the game against North Alabama and the conference title game and is set to lead the Seminoles.
On the other hand, Georgia held the No. 1 spot heading into the SEC title game against Alabama. Unfortunately, the Bulldogs’ 29-game winning streak ended with a loss to the Crimson Tide, causing Georgia to drop out of the top four in a shocking turn of events.
The Bulldogs will rely on quarterback Carson Beck, who had an impressive 2023 season, completing 289 of 399 pass attempts for 3,738 yards, 22 touchdowns and six interceptions. Beck will have a tough task against Florida State’s defense, who have gone nine straight games without giving opponents more than 20 points a game.
