The Florida Gators and Miami Hurricanes played every year from 1944 to 1987, but have played just four games since then (twice in bowls). For whatever reason, UF and the 'Canes haven't been able/willing to schedule a regular home & home series.

But with a 12 game schedule going forward, Florida & UM are slated for a home & home -- 2008 in Gainesville and 2013 in the Orange Bowl.

The reason is because we'd have to squeeze them in during a bye week, and neither of us want to do that. We're playing when we have a 14th week to move things around, thus the gap between the Gainesville and Miami trips.
