You know, if you look at the state of Florida on a map in just the right way — like, upside down — it looks like a giant “L.” And right now, that’s appropriate, because this weekend, Florida took Ls at a frequency it never has before.
The state went an astounding 0-11 in football this weekend across FBS, FCS and NFL teams, a record of futility never before achieved in the state’s long and illustrious football history.
Consider ...
FBS:
• Florida lost to Texas, 49-17
• Florida State lost to Notre Dame, 52-3
• Miami lost to Georgia Tech, 28-23
• Central Florida lost to Arizona State, 35-31
• Florida Atlantic lost to East Carolina, 49-14
• South Florida lost to Navy, 28-7
Note: According to CBS, this is the first time in the FBS era, which dates back to 1978, that a single state has gone 0-6 in a weekend.
