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

Obviously it makes sense when you actually look at it, but given how much more heated the UF-FSU rivalry is than USCe-UGA, it just sounds odd.

Because UF and FSU has long been billed as a major in-state rivalry game without reference to FSU's relative youth so I don't think most realize that SC and UGA, two out of state schools who haven't historically been in the same conference, have played so many times in comparison to in-state rivalries.
