List of Florida college football state champions

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Before any school entered conference play, the highest claim for a Florida college football team was a state title. The first game in the state was between Stetson and the Florida Agricultural College in Jacksonville as part of the State Fair.[1][2] Stetson won 6–0, after a sure FAC score was obstructed by a tree stump.[3]

In 1911, the Florida Gators beat 4 South Carolina teams and dubbed themselves the "champions of South Carolina". In 1912 they joined the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association.
