The Florida State-Miami rivalry is an athletic rivalry between two universities in the state of Florida: the Florida State University and the University of Miami. Although both schools participate in a range of intercollegiate sports, the competition between the Florida State Seminoles and Miami Hurricanes has tended to focus on football.

Neither school has really dominated the series. Both the Seminoles and the Hurricanes have went on streaks of +5 against the opponent wins are ususally traded away year in and year out with the home team usually falling to the visitors. The Seminoles lag behind the Hurricanes with a record of 22-30 the series. Since the late 1980s, one or both squads have often been highly ranked coming into the game, adding national championship implications to an already heated rivalry. Kicks have played an important role in the series with many wide right, wide left, blocks and muffs that would have won the game for the fallen.
