History’s on their side, but the Gators face a daunting task against Georgia

It might not mean much, but the Gators will have history on their side when they take on No. 1 Georgia on Saturday at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville.

Since 2008, the schools have taken turns winning three consecutive games against each other. Florida won three straight from 2008-10 and from 2014-16, while the Bulldogs won three straight from 2011-13 and from 2017-19. If that trend continues, the Gators will win on Saturday and again next year after winning in 2020.

Additionally, every time that the Atlanta Braves have made the World Series since relocating to Atlanta in 1966, Florida has beaten Georgia that year.
