Not a notable rivalry, hence they don't schedule one another. Looks like maybe a handful of interesting games, and yes there's the recent national championship game, but even then one does not remember even marketing exploiting some semblance of a rivalry. No mention of the rivalry on the FSU Seminoles page. The only mention of it is on Auburn's page. "Rivalries with Clemson, Georgia Tech, Tulane and Florida State were more prominent during Auburn's membership in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association, the Southern Conference, and the early days of the Southeastern Conference." Well FSU was never in any of those conferences, and you're stretching early days of the SEC to say Auburn ever played FSU then. Compare this "rivalry"'s beginnings with either of Clemson, Tech, or Tulane. Perhaps UF and FSU were confused. The only mention of the rivalry I find, is of it never coming to be Auburn ends football rivalry vs. Florida State. Cake (talk) 09:21, 13 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This one looks like it is not now, and was not historically, a true rivalry of the type needed to satisfy WP:GNG and WP:NRIVALRY. Cbl62 (talk) 01:47, 14 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
