Florida and Florida State will meet in their annual rivalry game with both teams carrying just one loss on the year.

Florida won’t go to the SEC title game, but they still have an outside shot at making the BCS championship, and FSU would love to end all hopes for that. The Seminoles are on a two-game winning streak in the series, having outscored Florida 52-14 combined in 2010 and 2011.
The Gators have used a tough defense to navigate a difficult 2012 schedule. This will be the third top 10 team Florida faces, after previously taking down LSU and South Carolina.
FSU has had a much easier road to 10-1, and that is why they are behind several two-loss teams in the BCS. Florida State’s best win came over Clemson, and that got them a spot in the ACC title game.
Game time, TV schedule: 3:30 p.m. ET, ABC
Spread: Florida State favored by 8.
