MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- The two top-ranked teams outside the College Football Playoff faced off in the Capital One Orange Bowl, but only sixth-ranked Georgia looked the part Saturday -- and that led to some frustration from Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart.

Georgia demolished No. 5 Florida State 63-3 in what was the largest margin of victory in bowl history, topping the Dawgs' 58-point win over TCU in last year's national championship game. But the lopsided score was due, in part at least, to a host of opt-outs and injuries for the Seminoles.
