Here&#8217;s Why"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p><a href=\"\"><\/a>When it was first announced that Georgia and Florida State would square off in the Orange Bowl, fans assumed there would be a lot of hype surrounding that matchup. So far, it&#8217;s been a total dud.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For starters, both programs feel like they were snubbed by the College Football Playoff selection committee. Florida State even said it was &#8220;disgusted&#8221; by the committee&#8217;s decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another issue at play here is that Florida State&#8217;s top players have opted out. Jared Verse, Keon Coleman,&nbsp;Trey Benson, and Johnny Wilson are just some of the top playmakers who&#8217;ll miss this game.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that said, the Orange Bowl is struggling to sell tickets. A ticket broker recently explained just how rough this process has been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen a little bit of action from Georgia in ticket sales, but they\u2019re just tired of traveling,\u201d&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/orange-bowl-florida-state-georgia-seminoles-ticket-brokers-miami\/\">a ticket broker told OutKick<\/a>. \u201cBut from a Florida State standpoint, we definitely bought too much inventory. We thought the fanbase would be excited to at least see a matchup against Georgia, but we were wrong in a big way. I had twenty workers at the SEC title game where I met you at, but I\u2019ll probably only send 5-8 guys to Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou can buy tickets online for eighty bucks, while the regular get-in price was $125 to start. So imagine all the inventory we bought thinking it would be an easy sell for fans traveling throughout the state. Now&nbsp;I\u2019m going to have my guys outside the stadium just trying to break even.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s safe to say Hard Rock Stadium won&#8217;t be packed this Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kickoff for the Orange Bowl is at 4 p.m. ET.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it was first announced that Georgia and Florida State would square off in the Orange Bowl, fans assumed there would be a lot of hype surrounding that matchup.
