The Great Georgia Exodus: A Surprisingly Uneventful Affair
Ah, the transfer portal. The bane of every college coach's existence and the Bermuda Triangle of talented freshmen. But there's another kind of exodus plaguing the gridiron these days: bowl game opt-outs. With dreams of NFL glory dancing in their heads, players are increasingly skipping their final collegiate game to focus on the draft.
So, the question that had college football analysts in a tizzy was: How many Georgia Bulldogs would ditch the Orange Bowl and hightail it for the NFL combine?
Well, dear reader, prepare yourselves for a plot twist so shocking it'll make M. Night Shyamalan raise an eyebrow. The answer? Zero. Zilch. Nada. That's right, not a single Bulldog decided to opt out of the Orange Bowl.

Where were the disappearing Dawgs?
Now, before you start prepping a victory speech for Kirby Smart's motivational prowess, let's pump the brakes a bit. Here's what probably happened:
QuickTip: A quick skim can reveal the main idea fast.
Revenge of the Missed Championship: After falling short of the College Football Playoff, maybe the Dawgs just had a point to prove in the Orange Bowl.
Fear the Turnover Chain's Wrath: Let's be honest, nobody wants to be on the wrong side of that sparkly menace. Coach Smart probably just rattled his chain ominously at anyone considering an opt-out.
The Allure of the Sunshine State: Maybe a little Florida sunshine in December was too tempting to resist. Hey, even champions deserve a vacation, right?
Did the full squad translate to a win?
Let's just say the Florida State Seminoles might still be picking confetti out of their hair. The Bulldogs dominated the Orange Bowl, proving that a complete roster can be a powerful thing (who knew?).
So, what can we learn from Georgia's display of unity?
Probably not a whole lot that applies to your average fantasy football team. But hey, it was a refreshing change of pace in a world of player departures. Maybe it shows that some teams still value that good ol' fashioned thing called team spirit.
