Florida State's Roster Decimated Ahead Of Bowl Game Against Georgia

Florida State appears to be in big trouble against Georgia.

The Seminoles play the Bulldogs in the Orange Bowl, and the line is at -17.5 in favor of Kirby Smart's team as of publication.

It certainly appears Mike Norvell will be playing with a much different team than fans saw all season. FSU has a total of 21 players not playing in the game due to transfers and guys entering the NFL Draft as of Wednesday morning, according to 247Sports.

BroBible has the number of starters not playing at 15 for Florida State. That's simply a staggering number. Below are some of the important names not suiting up against the Bulldogs.

As we covered Tuesday at OutKick, Mike Norvell got all up in his feelings Monday with a cryptic tweet following Tate Rodemaker entering the transfer portal.

The 13-0 Seminoles were left out of the playoff in favor of Alabama, and since then, players have been fleeing for the draft and transfer portal.

Missing 21 players for a bowl game is a number that would be hard for any team to overcome. The task is significantly more difficult for Florida State given the fact the Seminoles have to play Georgia.

The Bulldogs are 12-1 and one of the best teams in America, and unlike FSU, will still have plenty of talent on the field for the Orange Bowl.

The line being -17.5 in favor of the Bulldogs might honestly be a bit low.
