The upcoming home of the Tennessee Titans, the newly constructed venue is scheduled to open next year and seats roughly 60,000 fans.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"77\">Previously, Florida State and Georgia were due to meet on September 16, 2028. It remains to be seen if that date holds. As of now, the Bulldogs will play Florida A&amp;M on Saturday, September 9, but don&#8217;t have a contest scheduled for the week prior to or after that game.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7a\">The Seminoles and Bulldogs haven&#8217;t met between the lines since the 2023 Orange Bowl. That matchup came to fruition after Florida State became the first undefeated P4 conference champion to be snubbed from the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7d\">Georgia ended up winning the contest 63-3, the largest margin of victory in a bowl game in college football history. The majority of Florida State&#8217;s starters on both sides of the ball opted out, while star quarterback Jordan Travis was unable to play due to a season-ending leg injury.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7g\">The Bulldogs lead the all-time series 7-4-1. Florida State hasn&#8217;t defeated Georgia since 1965. With that being said, five of the Bulldogs&#8217; seven victories over the Seminoles came before 1959.<\/p>\n<p>2026 Florida State Football Schedule:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7m\">Saturday, August 29 vs. New Mexico State &#8211;
