Georgia, Florida State schedule neutral game to replace home-and-home

College football fans, get ready to mark your calendars—the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida State Seminoles are set to clash again, but this time on neutral ground. After scrapping their previously planned home-and-home series last week, both programs have quickly pivoted to a one-off showdown in 2028, as confirmed by FSU athletics director Michael Alford.

The news, first reported by On3's Brett McMurphy, comes as a welcome twist for fans who were disappointed by the cancellation. While the exact venue remains up in the air, Alford revealed that seven cities are vying to host the game: Atlanta, Charlotte, Miami, Nashville, New Orleans, Orlando, and Tampa. Each location offers its own unique flavor, from the electric atmosphere of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to the iconic Superdome in New Orleans.

If Miami gets the nod, it would be a true rematch of the teams' last meeting—a memorable 2023 Orange Bowl where Georgia dominated a depleted Florida State squad. That game, which ended in a lopsided victory for the Bulldogs, still stings for Seminoles fans, making a future matchup all the more tantalizing.

This will mark just the 13th all-time meeting between these two storied programs. Before the 2023 Orange Bowl, their paths last crossed in the Sugar Bowl following the 2002 season. Interestingly, the Bulldogs and Seminoles haven't faced off in a regular-season game since 1965, when they met in Tallahassee. That's over six decades of waiting for a regular-season clash, adding extra weight to this neutral-site contest.

For fans looking to show their team pride ahead of the 2028 showdown, this is the perfect time to stock up on gear. Whether you're repping the iconic "G" or the spear, the anticipation is already building. Stay tuned for venue announcements, and start planning your travel—this is a matchup no college football enthusiast will want to miss.
