2023 Orange Bowl: Georgia vs. Florida State predictions, odds, news
The No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs (12-1) are aiming for the Capital One Orange Bowl trophy, but they must first defeat the No. 5 Florida State Seminoles (13-0), who have an extra motivation to win and will be playing with a chip on their shoulders.
The Seminoles had an impressive season, going undefeated with a 13-0 record and winning the ACC Championship title. However, Florida State was not selected for the College Football Playoff, and they will be determined to prove the College Football Playoff committee wrong in that decision. Brock Glenn, a true freshman quarterback who will be leading the Seminoles after Tate Rodemaker's decision to opt-out of the bowl game and enter the transfer portal.
The Georgia Bulldog's College Football Playoff hopes were dashed when they lost to Alabama in the SEC title game. In return the Crimson Tide edged into the final four teams playing for the national title. Now, Georgia is determined to prove that they are a better team than FSU in the Orange Bowl. Junior quarterback Carson Beck will lead the Bulldogs. Beck had a 72.6% completion rate and recorded 3,738 yards, 22 touchdowns, and six interceptions during the 2023 season.

Action Network: Back the Bulldogs
Staff writes: "I truly don’t foresee a situation where Florida State comes on top — or keeps it close. It’s had a massive fall from grace since Week 11, and it's probably for the best that it’s not in the College Football Playoff. Up until the SEC Championship, Georgia was hands down the best team in college football. The Bulldogs may have had a few games that were close calls, but they always pulled away. While -20 sounds like a big spread for the Orange Bowl, I think it's generous. Florida State will roll out a freshman quarterback and a number of backups against a top-five Georgia team that's mostly at full strength. Back the Bulldogs to roll in the Orange Bowl."
