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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Florida State’s most recent assist in scorigami appears to be against Virginia Tech<\/a>, where the Seminoles won 39-17.<\/p>\n
