Yet, the committee left the Noles out.

The Georgia Bulldogs also had a claim to be included.

Before the SEC Championship game, the Dawgs were undefeated.

Georgia lost to Alabama, who ended up stealing their spot in the College Football Playoff.

Instead, both teams will now meet at the Orange Bowl.

The game will be played on Saturday Dec. 30 at Hard Rock Stadium.

The Orange Bowl will kick off at 4 p.m.

While both teams are disappointed with their fate, South Florida fans are in for a huge matchup.
