In the world of college football, one state that tends to take the competition seriously is Florida. That fact makes the
Sunshine Showdown one of the best, because it features a matchup between the University of Florida Gators and the Florida
State University Seminoles. Florida State broke Florida's winning streak in 2010, but both will be fighting for the top in
2011.
The University of Florida Gators and the Florida State University Seminoles both have storied football programs, and one
of the best games of the NCAA football
season is when the two come together in the Sunshine Showdown. Their rivalry dates back more than half a century, and it remains
one of the most hard-fought rivalries in college football.
The Florida Gators and the Florida State Seminoles both have two of the most iconic locations in college football. For
the Florida Gators, home means playing at
Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, which has been the team's stadium since the 1930s. The Florida State Seminoles play at Bobby
Bowden Field at Doak
Campbell Stadium.
One of the reasons why the Sunshine Showdown is one of the most anticipated matchups of the season is that both teams have
incredibly passionate fans. Florida and Florida State fans don't tend to see eye-to-eye on much, which only adds fire to the
competition of the Sunshine Showdown. Reserve sports
tickets for this year's Sunshine Showdown.
