When the rival Miami Hurricanes joined the ACC before the 2004 football season, it was thought that when the conference held their first championship game for the sport the following season that the Canes and FSU football would meet year after year after year as arguably the two biggest names in the conference at the time.
In the 14 seasons that the ACC has had a football title game, the teams have met on the field in either Jacksonville, Tampa, Orlando or Charlotte a total of…zero times. Over the same span, the Seminoles have made it to the title game five times (winning four of them) while Miami has had more losing seasons (two) than title game appearances (one) over that span.
