The Seminoles are 10.5-point favorites in the latest Florida State vs Georgia Tech odds. DJ Uiagalelei, one of 10 four-star transfers brought in at Florida, will be eyeing his first FSU win but wide receiver Hykeem Williams has been ruled out with a minor injury.
This game may be an American NCAA football matchup, but plenty of fans at the game won't be from the U.S. That's because this is the first game of the college football season and the powers that be have decided to hold this marquee kickoff event at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.
This isn't the first year this has happened either. Last year, Notre Dame beat Navy 42-3 to kick off the season in Ireland, though that had some logic to it given Notre Dame's "Fighting Irish" moniker. I'm not sure the Florida State Seminoles or the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets will have the same local appeal.
On paper, this ACC conference matchup should be an easy one for Florida State. They come into the game ranked No. 10 in the country, having won the ACC last year with a 13-0 regular season record. While the season ended on a down note — they were blown out 63-3 by Georgia in the Orange Bowl after many of their starters opted not to play — they beat multiple ranked opponents and had a top 20 offense and defense. Georgia Tech, by comparison, did manage a winning season but finished just 7-6 with several losses to unranked opponents. Their 97th-ranked defense probably didn't help.
