The Swamp vs. the Bayou: A Tale of Tigers, Gators, and Close Calls
Ah, the LSU Tigers versus the Florida Gators. A rivalry as heated as Tabasco sauce on a gator tail (though we wouldn't recommend trying that at home, folks). But through the trash talk and the sweat, one question always lingers: just who owns the bragging rights?
Well, buckle up, because this gator-wrestling match of a record is about to get complicated.

| How Many Times Has Lsu Beat Florida In Football |
The Scoreboard Says...It Depends
Here's the raw data, folks: As of today, May 24, 2024, LSU has beaten Florida 31 times. That's a respectable number, enough to make any Tiger fan roar with pride. But hold your horses (or should we say, hold your tigers?) because here's the twist:
- Florida actually leads the series with 33 wins. Ouch. Seems those Gators have a bit more bite than we first thought.
- There's also a murky middle ground: 3 ties cloud the picture further. Picture a tug-of-war where both sides just kind of… slump to the ground. Not exactly a glorious victory for either team.
So, what gives?
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
The NCAA: Throwing a Wrench in the Works ♂️
Well, bless their hearts, the NCAA (those lovable regulators of college athletics) decided to vacate 3 of LSU's wins back in 2023. Seems there was a bit of a cough recruiting snafu cough that tarnished those victories. So, those 3 wins for LSU just vanish, poof! Like a deflated football.
So, the official record stands at Florida: 33, LSU: 31 (with 3 vacated wins). Confusing, right? That's the magic of college football, folks. Just when you think you understand it, it throws a trick play your way.
But hey, at least it's never boring!
Tip: Pause whenever something stands out.
Fun Facts, Because Why Not?
- The longest winning streak in the series belongs to Florida with a whopping 9 wins in a row from 1988 to 1996. Those Gators were hungry!
- LSU countered with their own 5-game win streak from 2019 to a not-so-distant 2023 (those vacated wins sure would look nice here, wouldn't they?).
- The most recent matchup? LSU stomped the Gators 52-35 in November 2023. Ouch, again! Looks like the Tigers are back in the hunt.
This rivalry is a rollercoaster, folks. You never know what to expect!
