The Orange Bowl is one of the top traditions in all of college football. Having been around for close to a century at this point, it is a mainstay during the college football bowl schedule, regularly featuring two of the best teams in college football. Here, we look at the history of this game and give you a breakdown of the upcoming edition of the game.
2023 Orange Bowl Analysis
This year’s Orange Bowl will be a Georgia vs Florida State matchup. That sounds like a great game, but it features the biggest point spread this bowl season, thanks to the injury situation at quarterback for Florida State. The Seminoles should be without its top-two quarterback options, which will cause them trouble against one of the best defensive teams in the recent history of the sport.
Meanwhile, Georgia will be aiming to prove that they belonged in the College Football Playoff despite their loss in the SEC title game. While the defense of the Bulldogs is expected to play well in this game, the offense will be the unit to monitor in this contest. Simply scoring in this game at all could be enough to get Georgia a win, but the Bulldogs will not be satisfied with a poor offensive performance on this stage either.
Orange Bowl History
The Orange Bowl dates back to 1935 and has become one of the New Year’s Six bowl games each season. That designation makes this game a part of the College Football Playoff on a rotating basis. But even before that designation, this game often featured elite-level teams and conference champions from around the country. Below is a list of all of the previous editions of this contest and which teams came out on top each year.
