FSU football finished strong down the stretch to earn an Orange Bowl bid over Louisville. Cardinal fans react to the news on social media after beating ‘Noles earlier in the year.

FSU football played its first true road game against Louisville in its third game of the season and got embarrassed, losing by 43 points, the worst loss in FSU history.

Lamar Jackson was the front-runner (probably still is) for the Heisman Trophy and Louisville looked to be a player in the national picture.

Fast forward about 10 weeks and both FSU and Louisville had lost to Clemson. However, FSU won six of its final seven with the lone loss being against Clemson, and Louisville lost back-to-back games to finish their season on a sour note.

That coupled with FSU playing the stronger schedule was the deciding factor in getting the Orange Bowl bid over Louisville.

Louisville fans are livid, citing the huge win over FSU earlier in the season as reason enough to receive the Orange Bowl bid.
