Florida State University (FSU) and the University of Georgia have mutually decided to cancel their planned home-and-home football series for 2027 and 2028 due to the implementation of nine-game league schedules by the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). This scheduling shift has made nonconference matchups increasingly difficult, particularly as both teams already have annual in-state rivalry games—FSU against the University of Florida and Georgia against Georgia Tech—resulting in 10 Power 4 games on their schedules. Florida State's athletic director, Michael Alford, remains optimistic about the possibility of arranging a neutral-site game, emphasizing that these changes will not decrease the total number of home games in their future schedules. Georgia has also previously announced the cancellation of nonconference games against Louisville and NC State as they adjust to the new scheduling landscape.
