FSU, Georgia cancel series due to league skeds
Key takeaways
- Florida State plays Florida and Georgia plays Georgia Tech annually, giving both teams 10 Power 4 games on their schedule.
- The ACC is easing into a nine-game conference schedule this season.
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
Both the SEC and ACC are moving to nine-game league schedules, making nonconference scheduling more challenging -- particularly because both Florida State and Georgia already play in-state nonconference rivalry games at the end of the season.
Florida State plays Florida and Georgia plays Georgia Tech annually, giving both teams 10 Power 4 games on their schedule. Georgia previously announced it had canceled future nonconference games against Louisville and NC State.
In a statement, Florida State athletic director Michael Alford said he was "optimistic" that a neutral-site deal will get done, adding that the schedule change "will not reduce the total home games on our schedule moving forward."
