Submitted by Anonymous on February 27, 2014 - 1:56pm

The Gators and Seminoles will continue to meet on the gridiron after this season, prolonging one of the top rivalries in college football through 2018.

The University of Florida and Florida State University confirmed Thursday they have inked a contract that will allow the teams to meet at least for the next four years. The current contract was due to expire at the end of 2014.

The schools have met each year since the rivalry began in 1958. This year, teams will clash on Nov. 29 in Tallahassee.

Florida has gotten the better of Florida State in their 58 meetings and lead the series 34-22-2.

The Seminoles are set to begin defending their national title on Aug. 30 against Oklahoma State in Arlington, Texas. Meanwhile, that same day, Gator Nation will be watching its team as they host Idaho at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium.
