What is the biggest rivalry of the big 3 schools in Florida

I have always wondered. I'm sure it changes every once in a while but historically what is the biggest rivalry?

Fla St vs UF
Miami vs Fla St
UF vs Miami
Miami vs UF

That was going to be my guess. mostly because of the late 90s and early 00s

for a long time, this was the most nationally recognized

Miami was no good before Schnellenberger, and he came in the same year that Bowden did. Florida a Miami used to play every year, but didn't play each other from 1987 to 2002.

It has to be either Miami-FSU or UF-FSU. The Miami-FSU games were probably more epic and memorable though.

classically UF-UM

Although more recently it's been FSU-UF or FSU-UM.

According to my Gator grad wife and all her family, historically it was more UF-UM rivalry. Then you tack on the 1971 final season game Gator flop that UF did to UM in the old Orange Bowl. This made the older UM guys really dislike the Gators.

guessing, remember the 'wide right' wars.

also, uf and das spurrier wanted none of daU in the late 80s and thru the 90s. so you didn't get the national exposure those games would have brought.
