Florida State could not have won the Florida Cup in '98 or '99 for two reasons: (1) Miami and Florida didn't play each other in either of those years (the 2000 Sugar Bowl meeting was the first game between the teams since 1987); and (2) the Florida Cup did not exist until 2002. I've corrected the list of winners.- Juicedpalmeiro 04:44, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
The cup is reward when 1 team beats the other 2 so UF and UM dont have to play for FSU to win the cup. Theworm777 ( talk) 13:26, 19 November 2012 (UTC)
If the Florida Cup is only awarded for round robin play then it has a clear bias against FSU since it is not the fault of the Seminoles that the Hurricanes and Gators have failed to maintain playing their series. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.90.216.96 ( talk) 04:28, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
Considering this trophy will likely never again be handed out again, and has been handed out only 5 times in total, should there just be a general article discussing the history of the 3 way rivalry? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PaxonGator ( talk • contribs) 04:38, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
This is an article about a trophy created in 2002 that is specifically, by its given terms, only awarded in years when a round-robin between FSU, UF, and Miami occurs. I can understand why some users would want to add years to the article from prior to the trophy's creation or from years where no round-robin occurred, but that has no place on the Florida Cup page - it's a synthesis of information that constitutes original research, which is a no-no ( [1]). The article is on the Florida Cup, the Florida Cup has been awarded five times. See also Commander-in-Chief's Trophy and the Michigan MAC Trophy for other examples of articles on round-robin trophies between three teams.

The cup can only be awarded on years all 3 play each other! Your article has FSU winning 7 years in a row from 2010-2016. Miami only played Florida once in that span. Miami winning 23-16! Therefore FSU could not have won the Cup! ANY of those years! 2603:9001:1F02:487F:98BD:F4E9:6FFE:196B ( talk) 02:20, 26 November 2022 (UTC)
