10 Win & Losing Season Factoids

Getting to double-digit wins is not an easy feat in college football. FSU reaching that mark this season is a big deal.

Here's some perspective on not only how rare 10 wins can be, but also how impressive FSU's run of success has been in a relatively short amount of time. #FSU pic.twitter.com/ZKo4qyixqm

Since everyone likes to continuously bring up FSU having a few losing seasons, I decided why not see how we stack up as far as the percentage of losing seasons throughout program history.🤔 #FSU pic.twitter.com/homAXWRDl4

Florida finished with consecutive losing seasons for the first time since 1978 & 1979

Lost to every SEC East program, plus FSU & UCF, in the past 14 months

1961 on Fla. Field. FSU students tear down goal posts

 

https://www.on3.com/boards/threads/who-remembers-1961-on-fla-field-fsu-students-tear-down-goal-posts.790757/

It was the fourth game of the series that started in 1958. Gators had won 3 straight and refused to play n Tallahassee. Gator coach Ray Graves said the tie felt like a, “death in the family.”

I remember it well. It was the first FSU game I attended and I watched the brawl at the end. Lot of teeth and blood. Security couldn't get it to stop, so the Marching Chiefs played "Dixie" (Back in '61, everyone stopped what they were doing when Dixie was played. Did stop anyone. They finally turned on the sprinklers and the fighting stopped.

That was the day I became a Nole.

Highest-rated games of last week (Monday not included)

Ohio State-Georgia (Peach): 21.736M

TCU-Michigan (Fiesta): 20.934M

Rose Bowl: 10.187M

Alabama-Kansas State (Sugar): 9.135M

Tennessee-Clemson (Orange): 8.590M

Oregon-North Carolina (Holiday): 3.969M

Kansas-Arkansas (Liberty): 3.914M

Last year's Rose Bowl had 16.631M. In 2020 (2019 season), the Rose Bowl had 16.30M. They had 16.781M in 2019. Something went very wrong this year. Maybe it was the January 2 date instead of New Year's Day. But the last time the Rose Bowl was played on Jan. 2 was 2017 and they still had 15.740M. This year had Penn State as opposed to Ohio State (Utah was common in both years). But PSU played in 2017 as well (USC was the Pac 12 representative).

The Rose Bowl TV ratings were the lowest ever.
