You can tell this was before the BCS and college football playoff because there's no way a team is scheduling a top 3 on the road in today's college football. They only do those on a netraul field.

Florida State in the 90's was pure hell to play. Would play anyone, anywhere, which is partially the reason they didn't win more than 2 NC's in that decade. Consistently had the toughest schedule in the country and had to play BOTH Miami and Florida annually. The nerve of Miami or Florida calling themselves Florida "state" champions when they didn't play each other. Either lost to Miami or Florida and out of the NC picture - so unfair. That and Florida State didn't have a consistently good kicker to save its ever-lovin life!

[@tytratar2114]

One thing I will always remember about this game was the placekicking! The kicker for Florida state, whoever it was, had a horrible game.

It’s crazy how if FSU just had a smidge more luck in 91,92,97,98 those could and maybe even “should” be natty teams. 91 & 92 the missed FGs against Miami, 97 that damn gator comeback, 98 Weinke getting hurt. Maybe even argue 96? If it wasn’t for the SEC championship game I don’t think a super motivated UF team gets their rematch in the title game. People say Nebraska was the team of the 90s, but I truly believe even though I’m a biased FSU fan it was FSU were in the title game 4 years of the 90s, 3 straight if you wanna include 98,99,00. And was a game away from the title game in 2 or 3 of the other years.

Stop writing crap.
