Gameday is getting closer and closer. It's that time of season everyone; The FSU-Miami game is now only a couple days away. This game is reguarded as one of the greatest rivalries in all of college football. It's mentioned with the other great rivalries like Michigan-Ohio State, Alabama-Auburn, Army-Navy, and USC-Notre Dame. Florida State fans may hate the Gators more, but Miami is the greater rival. Unlike games against Florida, the matchups against Miami affect the ACC standings. In a season like the current one, the winner of this game takes a giant step towards winning the ACC.
In the past, this rivalry had serious national implications. In the late 80's and throughout the 90's, these two schools would meet up in a matchup between two top-5 ranked schools. The winner would most likely end up in a national championship game. FSU has had some heart-breaking losses to Miami when they failed to convert on crucial field goal opportunities. Without those tough losses to Miami, FSU could be sitting at five national championships right now. It's a rivalry that began in 1951, and continues to produce the most epic and memorable games. There will be plenty of speed, hard hits, and exciting plays in this battle on the gridiron. Only one thing is for certain.... it'll all come down to the final few minutes.
