No. 14 Florida State drubs No. 9 Florida 27-2 in Swamp
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Dalvin Cook ran for 183 yards and two touchdowns, Roberto Aguayo kicked two long field goals and No. 14 Florida State upended ninth-ranked Florida 27-2 on Saturday night.
The Seminoles (10-2) won their third consecutive game at Florida Field — the first time that's happened in the history of the storied rivalry — and ended any chance the Gators (10-2) had of making the College Football Playoff.
Florida avoided its first shutout in the Swamp since 1988 when FSU quarterback Sean Maguire recovered a fumble in the end zone for a safety with 8:58 remaining.
It was little consolation for the Gators, who will be huge underdogs next week for the Southeastern Conference championship game in Atlanta against second-ranked Alabama.
Florida State, which didn't make the Atlantic Coast Conference title game, awaits its bowl assignment. The Seminoles probably locked up a spot in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl on Dec. 31 in Atlanta.
