Miami Hurricanes Among Seven Florida FBS Teams in Historic Football Win Saturday

Miami football fans, along with supporters across the state, celebrated a historic Saturday as all seven Florida FBS-level teams secured victories on the same day. This rare occurrence, which happened on September 27, marked only the second time in history that the University of Miami, Florida, Florida State, UCF, South Florida, Florida International, and Florida Atlantic all won their respective games.

This collective success means a lot for local bragging rights and the overall perception of college football in the Sunshine State. Residents are already discussing the implications for upcoming rankings and bowl game prospects, especially for teams like the Gators and Bulls who remain undefeated.

The University of Miami, ranked No. 6, dominated Central Michigan with a 52-3 win. Meanwhile, No. 21 Florida delivered a significant upset, beating No. 4 Ole Miss 52-28, pushing the Gators to a 4-0 record under first-year coach Jon Sumrall. Sumrall commented on the team's progress, stating, "It's not asleep, but it ain't fully awake yet. It's being kind of stirred up a little bit. We're going to get there. It's coming. I promise you, I didn't come here for us to be average."

Other key victories included UCF's 21-13 win over TCU in their Big 12 opener, and South Florida's second-half rally to defeat Bowling Green 14-6, also improving their record to 4-0. Florida State beat Central Arkansas 34-7, and Florida International defeated Long Island University 20-3, with both opponents being FCS-level schools. Florida Atlantic completed the perfect sweep by rolling past Louisiana-Monroe 45-17 in the latest game of the day.

According to SportRadar, September 27 was the 27th time all seven Sunshine State FBS programs played on the same day. The only other instance where all seven teams won on the same day was October 5, 2013. This recent achievement highlights a strong showing for Florida college football programs.

As teams continue their seasons, the focus shifts to maintaining momentum. Fans will closely watch how these victories impact conference standings and national rankings in the coming weeks. The next games for these teams will be crucial in determining if this historic Saturday was a one-off or a sign of continued dominance.
