GRR: Florida State
Florida State capped off their second-straight stirring comeback to win the Florida DIAA collegiate championships Saturday.
Down 19-6 in the first half, and 29-16 in the second half, the Seminoles nevertheless came back. Their bench was enormously influential in the closing minutes, helping FSU overhaul a very good Bulls team 31-29.
The usually tight Florida DIAA conference has become even tighter.
Florida State edged Central Florida to inch a little closer to the top of Florida's DIAA College Conference.
Two games this weekend in Florida ended up 29-27, which is a little strange. One of those was FSU's victory over UCF, bumping the Seminoles to 2-2 and seeing UCF drop to 2-3.
The Florida Collegiate Conference received a good piece of praise from GRR and as the FCC returns for its 2023 season, let's revisit that.
It wasn't easy but Florida State did end up running the table in the Florida DIAA league, edging a tenacious Central Florida to take the conference.
As we have outlined, since the Florida DIAA Conference is not a member of any over-arching competition group, their champion does not advance to any national-level competition.
