Spurrier 23-1 in season opening games as a college HC... His only loss was to South Carolina in 1989 in his last season at Duke.

SC and UGA have played more times than UF-FSU.

Also aren't there crazy droughts between some SEC matchups? I think it was UGA-UT or UF-UT where they didn't play each other for a couple of decades.

UT and UGA played only 20 times before expansion put them in the same division.

UT and UF only met 21 times before expansion.

UGA - UT went from 10/30/1937 until 9/14/1968 without playing each other...31 years for 2 schools 232 miles apart...

How is this a weird or shocking fact? Florida St football is like half the age of SEC football teams. We didn't start playing FBS level college football until the Mid 50s. Since FSU didn't start playing Florida until 1958, the UF-FSU series can't realistically have more games played against each other the the SC-UGA series.
