If you hadn’t heard of Scorigami before, I don’t blame you. For those unfamiliar with the term, let me bring you up to speed.

Scorigami is a concept created by legendary sportswriter Jon Bois. It is the art of building final scores that have never happened before in the game of football. For example, a score of 24-21 has happened 346 times since the inception of college football, with the first being a truly memorable game between Boston College and Brooklyn back in 1944. The last time 24-21 happened was Nov. 8, 2025, in a game between Kennesaw State and New Mexico State.

Now, a score of 52-18 has never happened in college football before. “Why is this interesting?” you may ask. Because of the unique nature of how football scores can be made (the six-point touchdown, three-point field goal, two-point safety, and finally one or two-point conversion after a touchdown), building final scores is awkward compared to games like baseball. This is because in the latter, you only score by one run at a time. Mathematically, a score can only be interesting in terms of how large it is in that case.

I know that was a lot, and to some of you, it might sound stupid and silly. That’s the beauty of it, though. You don’t have to root for a team. Rooting for scorigami is something everyone can get behind. So with all of this in mind, did Florida State manage to get any scorigami in 2025? Unfortunately, the Seminoles weren’t lucky this year. Despite high-scoring games like the 48-36 game against Virginia, that one happened before, in 1977, when Columbia played Colgate.

Somehow, 77-3 (FSU vs East Texas A&M) has happened six times, with the first coming in 1968 when Houston throttled Idaho. How about 66-10 (FSU vs Kent State)? No dice. That has happened 14 times, with the first coming in 1977 when Ball State defeated Cal Poly-Pomona.

Florida State’s most recent assist in scorigami appears to be against Virginia Tech, where the Seminoles won 39-17.
