A Spring Game match-up between geographically close Rivals has been talked about for some time. Bob Redmon takes the SEC's Conference only schedule, the Pandemic, & all schools need for money (all power 5 schools losing 2-3 home games) & develops this idea intelligently.

Just, no.

“Hey Mr. 4 Star, we would like you to suit up and play in a meaningless exhibition game against a rival that has been known to intentionally injure our players and which could cost you your entire playing career solely for the purpose of entertaining our impatient fan base who simply cannot wait a few more months for the regular season to begin. Sound ok?”

No coach would ever go for this.

Undefeated non-conference. I’m calling it now. I just hope we play better than when we played them last time.

Its a no from me as well. If it doesnt count in the record books there is no reason to play.

I'm good with dropping them permanently and replacing them with rotating H&H quality OoC opponents. FSUcks and the scUM should both be limited to bowl game UF opponents only.

If they wanted to play UF every year, then they should have joined the SEC instead of the Almost Competitive Conference. If they wanted cupcakes instead, then they should be left with the cupcakes to play.

The scUM thugs have never even won a single ACC-C.
The last time the criminoles won the ACC-C was in 2014 when they beat GaT by 2 Pts.
Then they went on to lose in the Final 4 CFP game to Ore by an embarrassing 39 pts.
They both belong with the cupcakes,,,, so leave them to it....

Yeah you don't need rivals. I'm sure Florida kids will be stoked to play Arkansas, Missouri and Mississippi State. If FSU was in the sec who's to say they would even be a permanent rival? The SEC already nuked UF's oldest rivalry with Auburn.

And the spring exhibition game idea is ridiculous.

We would both be in the East, so we would play every year.

No. Dumb AF. You think players and coaches will want to practice all damn year to play just a single game?

No, it would be an intersquad game after Spring practice. Still a very bad idea.
