Florida and Florida State will renew their rivalry after a hiatus thanks to college football’s pandemic rules a year ago and this year the rivalry carries some huge implications for the future of both programs.
The Seminoles opened the year 0-4 and somehow find themselves one win away from bowl eligibility. They had their struggles but have found a rhythm to carry them to the brink of 6-6 and their first bowl berth since the Sun Bowl loss in 2019. They appear to be peaking at the right time and find their rival heading the other way.
