Georgia coach Kirby Smart said Sunday he feels his team deserved to make the College Football Playoff, and empathized with Florida State, his team's opponent in the Capital One Orange Bowl, because the Seminoles got left out, too.

During an Orange Bowl Zoom call with both coaches, Smart was asked whether his team would be facing a "hornet's nest" in a highly motivated Seminoles team, which finished 13-0 but became the first undefeated Power 5 champion to finish outside the top four.

"I empathize with anybody that goes undefeated and doesn't get in," Smart said.
