MIAMI - Kirby Smart and UGA football are getting ready for a clash in the Orange Bowl with the Florida State Seminoles. On Friday the program released the final hype film of the year.
Better Never Rests
Kirby Smart is in his eighth year directing the Bulldogs who are 93-16 in this span including back-to-back national championships in 2021 and 2022. This offseason, Georgia took a deep dive on the New Zealand All Blacks, the world's most successful rugby team, or quite frankly, any sports team in history.
Most Consecutive Weeks At No. 1
This season, Georgia established an SEC record for Most Consecutive Weeks at No. 1 in the Associated Press Top 25 poll. The Bulldogs spent 24 weeks at No. 1 and this ranked second all-time in the College Football Playoff era.
Most Wins By Bulldog Senior Class
The Bulldog senior class has a chance to collect its record 50th win in the Capital One Orange Bowl.
Also, these Bulldogs went 22-0 at home.
T1. 49-4 (2023); 49-5 (2022)
WIN: What's Important Now
Sixth-ranked Georgia (12-1) is making its 27th consecutive bowl appearance, which is the nation's longest streak and dates to 1997. The Bulldogs will face fifth-ranked Florida State (13-0) in the Capital One Orange Bowl in Miami, Fla. This will be Georgia's 62nd bowl game (second most of any team in the country), and the Bulldogs are looking to win their seventh consecutive bowl game. Georgia's all-time record in bowls is 37-21-3. Also, the 2023 Georgia senior class has tied the school mark for victories with a 49-4 record. The 2022 class went 49-5.
The Bulldogs hold a 6-4-1 advantage in the series with FSU who enters the bowl game on a 19-game winning streak (second-longest active streak in the FBS). These teams last met in the 2003 Sugar Bowl when Georgia picked up a 26-13 victory in New Orleans to finish 13-1 and No. 3 in the final polls. This will be the Bulldogs' fifth appearance in the Capital One Orange Bowl where they are 3-1. Georgia won its last appearance here, a 34-11 rout of No. 2 Michigan in a 2021 College Football Playoff semifinal. The victory over UM started a school record 29-game winning streak. This year, Georgia completed its third straight undefeated regular season to become the first program to do that in the Associated Press poll era that began in 1936.
Balance Signals Success
The Bulldogs are one of only two teams in the country who are ranked in the top 10 in both Scoring Offense and Scoring Defense. The Bulldogs rank ninth in Scoring Defense at 16.6 ppg and ninth in Scoring Offense at 38.4 ppg. The other team is Notre Dame as they are eighth in both categories (16.6 ppg/39.1 ppg.). Meanwhile, FSU is sixth in Scoring Defense (15.9) and 13th in Scoring Offense (37.0).
