Did you know...

[Phillysker]

I did the research for you.

Year	Team	NU pts	Other Pts	Final Opponent Rank (AP)	Final NU Rank (AP)
1987​	Florida State	28​	31​	2​	6​
1988​	Miami	3​	23​	2​	10​
1989​	Florida State	17​	41​	2​	12​
1990​	Georgia Tech	21​	45​	1​	18​
1991​	Miami	0​	22​	2​	16​
1992​	Florida State	14​	27​	2​	14​
1993​	Florida State	16​	18​	1​	3​

I want to say 5 of those were to FL teams in, ahem, FL. Two of those were to scUM, at their home stadium. It always irked me that we weren't allowed a larger ticket allotment to combat that.

The ball was made more pointed at the ends in 1934; this change is generally credited to Shorty Ray, a college football official at the time, and later the NFL's head of officiating. This made passing the ball easier, as was its intent, but made the drop kick almost immediately obsolete, as the more pointed ball did not bounce up from the ground reliably. The drop kick was supplanted by the place kick, which cannot be attempted out of a formation generally used as a running or passing set. While it remains in the rules, the drop kick is seldom seen, and as explained below, is rarely effective when attempted.
