Hatred. Violence. Ego. Swagger.
Few college rivalries hold the emotional weight that will flood through Tallahassee as No. 3 Miami clashes with No. 18 Florida State for the 70th time. Saturday night’s game will hold implications on ACC standings, recruiting momentum, and bragging rights.
The teams first met in 1951 and have played every year since 1963, making it one of the longest uninterrupted annual matchups in college football history. The series remains as close as can be, with “The U” holding a slim 36-33 lead.
The rivalry feeds off of geography, pride, and pure animosity.
