After taking care of Georgia Tech last weekend and moving within one more win of bowl eligibility, the 5-3 Florida State Seminoles head down south to meet the 4-4 Miami Hurricanes. The game will kick off at 7:30pm EST and be nationally broadcast on ABC.
One of the greatest rivalries in college football history, the Seminoles and Hurricanes have met on the gridiron 66 times. Miami holds a 35-31 lead in a series that has been streaky for both teams. Recently, FSU won 7 in a row between 2010 and 2016 before Miami took the next 4 contests between 2017 and 2020. Florida State won last season, so we shall see if another streak is on tap for the ‘Noles.
Just how competitive has this rivalry been throughout the years? Well, out of 66 matchups, 32 have been decided by one score (8 points or fewer margin of victory).
19 have been decided by a 3 point margin of victory.
9 games have been decided by a single point. Incredible!
In honor of such a great rivalry, we’re going to do things a little different this week- let’s get interactive and choose some FSU favorites!
