Saw one game between FSU and UF this year that the Gators took where FSU just seemed like it was sleepwalking its way through the game... sort of like a few nights ago when they played Army and survived... for lack of a better term. Army produced the runs for them, or they would have had to come out of the losers bracket.
FSU faced Army's ace who is a very good pitcher. That army pitcher is the sole reason why they were in a regional. After that army is terrible, and I wish i woke up in time to bet that Auburn/army game.
FSU/UF will be interesting.
Gators have a solid history of losing postseason games and having their season eliminated by in-state rivals UM and FSU.
FSU took the season series this year 2 games out of 3. But they played the games on mid-weeks on different dates without either teams rotation going.
The Gators have better pitching, home field advantage and a little bit of a better lineup. But FSU has the mental edge, as they have typically beaten the Gators year in and year out.
