The Miami Hurricanes and Florida State Seminoles have played in September, October, November and January since the rivalry’s inception in 1951. Because the ‘Canes and ‘Noles have failed to play in the ACC Championship Game December hasn’t happened in the joint-ACC era of the rivalry.
This season marks the 11th time the two rivals have met up in November over the past 40 seasons. Over the past four decades, November games played between the ‘Canes and ‘Noles have ended in a 5-5 tie. Over that time Miami is 4-3 in Tallahassee November games, but three of those games came before Dennis Erickson left Coral Gables for the Seattle Seahawks.
