If I were to tell you that every season since 1971, two college football powers have met in key conference games, you would think, “Now that’s a rivalry.”
If I were to tell you that in the 62 games played all-time in this series, one team holds a slim 31-28-3 lead, you would think, “Now that’s a rivalry.”
Finally, if I were to tell you that over the past 20 years, these two teams have combined to win five national titles and seven conference titles, you would think, “Wow. That is a rivalry.”
These numbers are from the Florida-LSU history books and a new chapter is set to be written this Saturday at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.
