By September 21, 2012No Comments

The Long-Time  Florida–Florida State football rivalry is between the teams of the two oldest public universities of state of Florida: the University of Florida Gators and the Florida State University Seminoles. Although both universities participate in a range of intercollegiate sports, the competition between the Gators and the Seminoles has most often focused on football.

The first game in the Florida–Florida State series was played in 1958. The Gators dominated the nineteen games played before 1976, but with the arrival of Bobby Bowden, the rivalry has become remarkably balanced . Overall, The Gators lead the overall series 33–21–2, but the series record has been split 19–18–1 over the last thirty-eight meetings in favor of FSU. For the past three decades, one or both squads have usually been highly ranked coming into the game, adding national championship implications to a rivalry already heavily weighted with in-state bragging rights.
