Few rivalries in college football stir the emotions quite like Florida State vs. Miami. Every meeting carries history, and the chance to rewrite the narrative. These programs aren’t just state rivals, they’re titans whose battles have defined eras.
Take 1991, when No. 1 Florida State and No. 2 Miami clashed in what many dubbed the “Game of the Century.” The Hurricanes’ 17-16 win came on the first of the infamous “Wide Right” misses, a moment etched in Seminoles’ pain and Hurricanes’ glory.
Or consider 2001, when Miami fielded one of the greatest teams ever assembled. That year’s Hurricanes routed Florida State 49-27, a win on their way to the BCS national championship.
Then came 2013, when No. 3 Florida State and No. 7 Miami collided under the bright lights. Jameis Winston’s Seminoles dominated 41-14, a victory that propelled FSU toward an undefeated season and a national title.
Across decades, the rivalry has produced over 700 NFL players, multiple heartbreaking misses, and many unforgettable nights. On Saturday, as Miami leads the all-time series 36-33, history is waiting for its next chapter.
Because in Florida State against Miami, it’s never just a game, it’s a legacy.
