Two teams who were left out in the cold by the College Football Playoff Selection Committee square off on Saturday in the 2023 Orange Bowl as No. 5 Florida State battles No. 6 Georgia. Both the Bulldogs and Seminoles entered conference championship weekend among the top four teams in the nation, and despite differing results in their respective games, both found themselves on the outside looking in while looking to end their seasons on a high note in the New Year’s Six.
Not making the College Football Playoff clearly marked a disappointing start to December. Georgia was knocked off by Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, and the Crimson Tide subsequently jumped Florida State for No. 4 in the selection committee’s final rankings. Both teams will be missing some key players, but the opportunity to test your program against another top-tier opponent is not lost on either coaching staff.
This will be first meeting between Georgia and Florida State since 2003 and only the 12th meeting in the all-time series. Georgia holds a 6-4-1 edge, but there have been just two meetings since 1970 and both of them have been in bowl games. Georgia and Florida State tied 17-17 in the 1984 Citrus Bowl, and then the Bulldogs knocked off the Seminoles 23-16 in the Sugar Bowl at the end of the 2002 season (Jan. 1, 2003).
While a handful of NFL Draft hopefuls are not going to be on the field, there is still a ton of passion between these two programs who always view these kind of bowl matchups as a measuring stick heading into the upcoming season.
Follow along with LIVE updates as Georgia battles Florida State in the 2023 Orange Bowl.
