Episode Details

Miami’s rise is rewriting Florida football’s legacy—after a decade of drought, the Hurricanes stunned the nation by reaching the playoffs in 2025 and nearly winning it all. Once a powerhouse from 1983 to 2002, Florida’s dominance has faded, with FSU stuck in rebuilding mode, UCF struggling in the Big 12, and Miami leading the charge under coach Mario Cristobal. Ranked seventh to start the season, Miami’s high-stakes quarterback gamble—landing Darian Mensah for $6.5M—signals a bold new era. Meanwhile, FSU’s Mike Norvell battles low morale and roster value, while Florida and UCF scramble to find footing. The 2020s may belong to Miami.
