No. 6 Georgia (12-1) will take on No. 5 Florida State (13-0) in the Orange Bowl on Saturday. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. ET from Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium and the game will be televised on ESPN.

Georgia missed the College Football Playoff due to a three-point loss to Alabama in the SEC Championship after winning 29 straight games (SEC record).
