But which game do you think is more important to win in the 2012 regular season? Edited August 29, 2012 by Florida Bull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSU also has higher expectations, probably still seen as the ACC's flagship program. An undefeated 2-0 record against them would be a nice accomplishment for the program. This is our last chance to play the Seminoles, with current scheduling agreements. On the other hand, if USF wins the Big East, it could entail a re-match with FSU; it would be very difficult to defeat them twice in one season. This would also be our last chance to play Miami (with current scheduling agreements), if they decide to cancel our game next year while making room for a ninth conference game. And, after last year, I really want payback! Due to location and being in fellow major media markets (the two largest in Florida, and the two fartherest south major metropolitan areas in Florida), some might believe they would make a more natural rivalry than with FSU. Thanks to timing and proximity, defeating the Hurricanes might have a bigger affect on the actual recruits we will be offerring; and even put pressure on Miami while hypothetically considering a cancellation of the last game of our series. Of course there are different ways to consider the question. Defeating FSU would help with national exposure, while defeating Miami could have more subtile-yet potentially more long-term-advantages.

We need to keep the ball rolling and not stumble down the stretch. Game I want us to win the most: Florida State. Way bigger win than UM. Plus to have a 2-0 record over the "Unconquered".....yeah.

Late in the season, and falling to 1-4 all time against Miami, during their down years for the most part, leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Please both lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course defeating both is important-especially if we meet one in a BCS Bowl. But, I think we only need to win our conference in the regular season to get to such a bowl-unless we need an at-large bid.

The higher ranked one goes to the BCS bowl game. Louisville has a head start. Edited August 29, 2012 by slick1ru2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
