00:05 Two-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs.
00:08 Why?
00:09 Well, because Florida State has 23 opt-outs as of the time of this recording and
00:16 show on the Saturday morning of the Orange Bowl.
00:20 So Joe, we've seen opt-outs in bowl seasons past.
00:23 23 that virtually features a different roster now for
00:27 FSU entering this Orange Bowl.
00:30 Tells you what when you correlate it to the 20 and
00:32 a half point number in favor of UGA.
00:34 >> Well, I think clearly Georgia deserves to be favored.
00:37 Carson Beck will play in this ball game along with a couple of play makers.
00:41 Kendall Milton, Dijon Edwards, they're starting running backs, Ladd McConkie.
00:45 There's more for Georgia than there is certainly for Florida State.
00:49 Tate Rodemaker that was supposed to start this ball game opted to transfer out.
00:54 Brock Lang gets to start the freshman that started the ACC championship.
00:58 They were a completely one dimensional offense in terms of that ball game.
01:02 Jared Verst, their defensive end is out.
01:04 Keon Coleman, Johnny Wilson, big play wide receivers have opted out.
01:08 No big play presence, potentially at least statistically.
01:12 I guess the good news is, is that Georgia has no game film on a bunch of these
01:17 players because we really don't know what to expect.
01:20 All I could say is from the gambling perspective,
01:23 you have a huge number with an undefeated team in terms of Florida State.
01:27 I still believe the players that are inputted in terms of this lineup today and
01:31 roster wanna show out.
01:33 Mike Norvell, I think will put these players and the coaching staff in the best
01:36 position to potentially keep this game close.
01:40 Kev, I understand I'm going against the grain, but
01:42 I'm taking the points with Florida State.
01:45 I know it.
01:46 I know we're gonna argue about this one.
01:48 And you know I already took them plus 980 on the money line.
01:52 Give me that house money, all Seminoles tonight.
01:54 >> So, I think it is very fitting that we have you looking to bet Florida State.
02:03 They're an unbeaten team, right?
02:05 The reason they didn't get in the CFP is they weren't the same version of
02:09 themselves heading into the finale or when we buttoned up the regular season.
02:14 And this is now not even close to the version of themselves that is unbeaten.
02:20 And I'm going to take a bit of time here, but please allow me to explain to perhaps
02:24 folks that are not as familiar as to what Florida State is entering with today.
02:29 First of all, let me ask you this.
02:31 Fully healthy Florida State with Jordan Travis against Georgia.
02:37 That line is probably what?
02:38 Not what you would make it, but
02:40 what do you think the bookmakers would probably say?
02:41 >> I think seven.
02:42 >> That's what I was thinking as well.
