Florida State blown out in the most meaningless bowl game ever.
Congrats to the Georgia Bulldogs who will now get to hang the “We beat Florida State’s third team really bad in a bowl game” banner. If ever a result didn’t matter it was Saturday’s Orange Bowl. Florida State had 23 players opt out of the Orange Bowl, and that included more than 50% of their …
