HEAD to HEAD
How does FSU stack up against the crocs throughout our shared history?

Last 5 games: Advantage FSU (4-1)
Last 10 games: Advantage FSU (7-3)
Last 15 games: Advantage uf (7-8)
Last 20 games: Advantage FSU (11-9)
Last 25 games: Advantage FSU (13-12)
Last 30 games: Advantage FSU (16-13-1)
Last 35 games: Advantage FSU (20-14-1)
Last 40 games: Advantage FSU (20-19-1)
Last 45 games: Advantage FSU (24-20-1)
Last 50 games: Advantage uf (24-25-1)
Last 60 games: Advantage uf (26-32-2)
All-Time: Advantage uf (26-35-2)

uf loves to claim superiority based on a series lead built during the childhood of our program...at one point uf had a 16-2 series lead...then Bowden came to FSU and started whomping on the crocs. Since that fateful day, FSU leads the series against the lizards. In fact, the crocs are really only successful against FSU in the years where FSU is unranked (i.e., a bad team). When the teams are evenly matched, FSU leads by far...
