For Jimbo Fisher, one rivalry weekend is not enough. Florida State’s coach isn’t satisfied with just an annual end-of-the-season date with Florida.
He wants Florida State vs. Miami around the same time every year. The budding rivalry against Clemson might be worthy of its own date, too.
The third Saturday in October is a fall ritual for Alabama and Tennessee fans. Oklahoma-Texas has a set midseason date. Michigan and Michigan State have a general timeframe for their annual game, and Florida-Georgia is usually at the end of October or early November.
The ACC has its rivalry week at the end of the season when a number of conference teams play nonconference opponents, but is that enough?
