War on I-4
Locations of USF and UCF

The War on I-4 is a college rivalry between the University of Central Florida Knights and University of South Florida Bulls. The rivalry is best known for its college football matchup which originated in a series of football games played from 2005 to 2008 and now takes place on Thanksgiving weekend, the de facto "rivalry weekend" for FBS football. From 2013 to 2023, when both schools were part of the American Athletic Conference, the schools began competing annually in all sports both schools sponsored (with the 1993–94 season being the only other season the schools competed in every sport both schools sponsored). In 2016, the schools officially adopted the "War on I-4" as an official competition series. Each year, the team with the most wins across all sports receives a gold trophy styled after an Interstate 4 (I-4) road sign with the logos of each school. The winner of the annual football game also receives a similar trophy.

Contents

As of March 19, 2024, South Florida holds the all-time series lead for seven of the ten sports in which the schools meet head-to-head: baseball (85–83), men's basketball (28–19), women's basketball (32–17), men's soccer (29–9–4), men's tennis (36–14), women's tennis (20–11) and volleyball (50–45); but UCF disputes the all time records in baseball, women's basketball, men's soccer, and volleyball, claiming the Bulls' records in these sports are 82–82, 29–14, 28–9–4, and 48–44, respectively. The only sports where UCF leads the all time head-to-head series are women's soccer (13–6–4), softball (23–19), and football (8–6). UCF leads the all time trophy series 7–0 (potentially 8–0 if the trophy continued to be awarded after they left the AAC for the Big 12). The Knights also led overall while both schools were in the American Athletic Conference with a 123–81–4 record in conference games against the Bulls across all sports, whereas the all-time total across all sports is 310–241–8 in favor of the Bulls. The Knights lead 11–10–2 [lower-alpha 1] all time in conference tournament matches and the teams are tied 4–4–1 in conference championship games (though USF has actually won five conference championships head-to-head against the Knights; the tie denotes that their 2017 women's soccer title was won on penalty kicks). The Bulls are 6–4 against UCF in NCAA tournament games and 1–0 in other postseason meetings, [lower-alpha 2] making the overall postseason total 17–15–2 in favor of the Bulls.

As the schools are now in separate conferences, they meet less often in sporting events than they did from 2013–2023.

The most recent meeting was on March 19, 2024 in men’s basketball in round one of the 2024 National Invitation Tournament, a game that USF won 83–77, with no future games currently scheduled between the two schools in any NCAA-sanctioned sports.

  1. ↑ Both ties occurred in the AAC Women's Soccer Tournament. UCF advanced on penalty kicks in the 2013 semifinal and USF won on penalty kicks in the 2017 championship game, but these games are still listed as ties in official records.
  2. ↑ The other postseason meeting was in the 2024 National Invitation Tournament.

Names

Starting when the schools first met on the gridiron in 2005, some writers dubbed the rivalry the "War on I-4". When the series resumed in 2013, administrators from both schools named it the "I-4 Corridor Clash". Both names refer to Interstate 4, an interstate highway that runs through both Orlando and Tampa. [1] [2] In 2016, when the schools announced the official competition, they formally adopted the "War on I-4" name. [3] [4]

The name "War on I-4" had previously been used for an arena football rivalry between the Tampa Bay Storm and Orlando Predators from 1992 to 2016. The Storm and Predators were located in the same metropolitan areas as USF and UCF respectively and were two of the most successful franchises in the league, with the Storm winning five Arena Bowls and the Predators winning two. The name became available when the Predators folded following the 2016 season.

Series history

Beginning

Founded in 1956 and 1963, respectively, the University of South Florida and the University of Central Florida are located 98 miles (158 km) away from each other in Tampa and Orlando, which combined make up the fourth-largest media market in the United States. [5] The short distance between the schools, combined with their athletic programs concurrent establishment and rise to NCAA Division I helped create a natural rivalry between the two, which only became stronger when both became members of the American Athletic Conference in 2013. The first meeting between the then-Florida Technological University Knights of the Pegasus (UCF) [6] and the University of South Florida Golden Brahmans that both schools agree happened (USF claims the schools played two baseball games in 1971 that UCF doesn't recognize) was a 1972 men's basketball game in Tampa. The Golden Brahmans won this game, 115–96. [7] Since that game, USF and UCF have begun series against each other in eight or nine other sports, depending on which schools' records are used. [7]

Official War on I-4 rivalry

On September 21, 2016, the morning of the first meeting of the season between the Bulls and Knights with a volleyball game set to take place in Orlando that evening, both athletic departments announced the official recognition of the “War on I-4” rivalry series. [8] The schools compete each school year in 14 sports for bragging rights, with each sports team's record counting equally toward a final tally for each program.

The overall War on I-4 trophy

The winner of each the football competition and the overall competition each year takes possession of a large trophy shaped like the iconic I-4 road sign, which will be displayed on their campus for the following year. Each trophy is similar but has a few key differences. The all-sports trophy has the War on I-4 logo on it and features the score of each season's overall competition. It is also significantly larger than the football trophy. The football trophy is dual-sided, with one side of the trophy reading "Tampa" and featuring USF's logo while the other reads "Orlando" and features UCF's logo. The football trophy also has a large base, which is detachable. Including the base, the football trophy measures 4 feet 3 inches (1.30 m) tall and weighs 160 pounds (73 kg). The score of each game is featured on the base. [9]

Unlike the Vince Lombardi Trophy or Larry O'Brien Trophy, which are permanently awarded to the victor every year, both the football and overall War on I-4 trophies are traveling trophies which are kept by the winner until the other team wins it.

Future

With UCF leaving the American Athletic Conference for the Big 12 Conference at the start of the 2023–24 school year, it is unclear whether the rivalry series will continue in the current format, especially considering the schools are guaranteed to no longer meet in golf, cross country, or track and field. [10] It is likely that football in particular will be on hiatus until at least 2028, because that is the next year when both teams have openings in their non-conference schedules. [11] [12]

It is unknown if the trophy is still being awarded, albeit with fewer sports than before with the winner being based off those meetings, or if the trophy series is put on hold, as USF has yet to win the point series since the trophy was introduced, hence no changing of hands has been required with the trophy.

From 2023-24, USF and UCF only met in a 3-game series in baseball, and a single Men’s Tennis and Women’s Soccer game, plus a postseason meeting in men’s basketball via the 2024 National Invitation Tournament.

Point system

Since September 21, 2016, when the rivalry series was officially established, USF and UCF have scored their competitions in the 14 sports represented at both universities (South Florida is the only one of the two schools to sponsor men's cross country, women's sailing, and men's track & field while UCF is the only one of the two schools to sponsor women's rowing). Each sport is worth 6 total points, meaning the point system typically grants:

In some years the scoring is slightly different. For example, USF and UCF only met once in women's basketball for the 2016–2017 season, so that game was worth all 6 points. Likewise, in 2020 and 2021 the sides played two men's soccer matches instead of one, which were worth 3 points each and awarded 1.5 points to each in the event of a draw. In all, there are 84 available points with 43 points required to clinch the title. As mentioned above, only regular season matches are counted toward War on I-4 point totals for the 10 sports in which the teams compete head-to-head, meaning if the Bulls and Knights meet in an exhibition game, conference championship, NCAA tournament, or a football bowl game, that game wouldn’t count for War on I-4 competition purposes. [13]

    Trophy series results

    UCF clinched the first academic year's overall title with an AAC women's golf championship on April 18, 2017. [14] The 2016–17 competition ended on May 20 with a 3–2 Knights victory in a baseball game, making the final point total 51 points to 33 points for UCF. [15]

    On April 17, 2018, the Knights clinched the overall title for the second consecutive year, again in the AAC women's golf championship. UCF finished second in the event, while USF finished ninth. [16] [17] The series concluded on May 13 with UCF placing higher than USF in the 2018 American Athletic Conference outdoor track and field competition and led to a final series score of 49–35 for UCF. [18]

    UCF clinched the overall title for the third straight year on April 7, 2019, with a 5–0 victory in baseball, the earliest clinch in the competition's history. [19] The series concluded on May 12 with UCF placing higher than USF in the American Athletic Conference women's outdoor track and field competition, making the final score 70–14 in favor of the Knights, the largest margin of victory in the competition's history. [20]

    The 2019–20 edition ended in March due to spring sports being canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic. UCF led the series 36–9 at the time of the cancellation [21] and was awarded the victory for the season, even though the schedule was not complete and UCF did not meet the point thresholds for winning in a normal season. This marked UCF's fourth-consecutive win in the War on I-4.

    The pandemic also caused the point system to slightly change for the 2020–21 edition of the rivalry. The AAC Women's Indoor Track & Field Championship was canceled, so the higher finisher at the AAC Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championship received 6 points instead of 3. Men's tennis and men's soccer both met twice in the regular season instead of once, so each of these matches counted for 3 points toward the victor's total rather than the usual 6. [22] In addition there were four softball games and eight baseball games instead of the usual three of each, so each game was worth 1.5 and 0.75 points respectively rather than 2. [23] UCF clinched the overall competition for the fourth time on April 17, 2021, with a 5–4 baseball win in Orlando. The point series ended on May 16 when UCF finished one place above USF in the women's outdoor track and field championship, making the total score 59.25–24.75, but the last meeting of the season between the two schools took place on May 30 when USF beat UCF in the 2021 American Athletic Conference baseball tournament championship game, though this did not add to USF's point total as it was a postseason meeting. [24]

    For the 2021–22 season, most of the sports reverted back to their usual schedules, with the exception of men's soccer staying at two games per year and baseball changing to six games per year. On April 16, 2022, UCF officially clinched the series for the 2021–22 season, securing the 43 points needed after defeating USF 4–0 in women's tennis. The final score for the season was 58–26.

    During 2022–23, the final season with both teams in the American Athletic Conference, UCF started out with scoring 24 of the first 30 points (only losing the Men’s Soccer game) to take an early commanding 24–6 lead, but USF would rally to score 14 of the next 17 points (only being outranked in the Women’s AAC Indoor Track & Field Championship) to cut the UCF lead to a closer 27–20 before UCF scored 36 of the last 37 points (losing only one Men’s Baseball game) to win in a 63–21 blowout, officially clinching after finishing higher than USF in the AAC women's golf championship on April 19, 2023.

    During 2023–24, the first non-conference season since 2012–13 and the continued awarding of the trophy being uncertain, the two schools only played regular season games in Women’s Soccer, Men’s Tennis, and Baseball, resulting in 18 points up for grabs with 10 needed to win. UCF won the Women’s Soccer game to take a 6–0 lead on September 10, which would be the last meeting between the two schools for almost six months before the two schools met again on March 1 in both Men’s Tennis and game one of the 3-game baseball series. UCF won both games that day, clinching the point series. USF would win one of the two remaining baseball games for a 16–2 UCF win. It is unknown if UCF officially won the trophy this season or not, as they have not officially been announced to have won the trophy, and would retain possession of the trophy regardless of if it was officially awarded this season or not. The two schools would also meet in round one of the 2024 National Invitation Tournament in men’s basketball, a meeting which USF beat UCF 83–77.

    History

    Early plans

    Discussions about scheduling a game between the Knights and Bulls began shortly after South Florida fielded its first NCAA Division I-AA team in 1997. [25] [26] Supporters suggested such a rivalry could help generate interest and revenue for both burgeoning teams. The prospect became more serious when the Bulls entered Division I-A in 2001 and was very popular among fans, but as it would be a non-conference series, difficulties arose. UCF had overbooked its future schedules and would have to break commitments. [25] Meanwhile, South Florida officials worried that their young program stood to take in less revenue from a home-and-away series against UCF than it would with an additional home game on the schedule. [27] Serious planning for a series did not commence until 2003. [25]

    First games (2005–2008)

    By 2003, serious discussions resumed as both schools had joined conferences – South Florida joined Conference USA (C-USA) in 2001, while UCF joined the Mid-American Conference (MAC) in 2002. [25] That year, the schools' athletics directors met and agreed to schedule games for the 2005 and 2006 seasons. [25] [28] Subsequently, South Florida joined the Big East, an Automatic Qualifying conference, in 2005, [29] while UCF joined C-USA the same year. [30] The Bulls won both games, which both drew crowds over 45,000. The series was extended for 2007 and 2008 as part of an agreement with C-USA that the Bulls play a member of the conference annually for five years. [28] [31] South Florida won these games as well, with a 64–12 blowout in 2007 and 31–24 overtime thriller in 2008. South Florida declined to schedule further games in the series, indicating it wished to pursue more competitive and high-profile opponents. [32] [33] During the series hiatus South Florida would go on to play opponents such as Florida, Florida State, Miami, Clemson, and Notre Dame; beating all except for Florida at least once.

    The two schools discussed scheduling more games over the next several years, including a failed proposal by South Florida to play at the Citrus Bowl in 2011. [34] [35] [36] In addition, a possible head-to-head matchup at the 2009 St. Petersburg Bowl failed to materialize. Bowl and city officials decided against pitting the two nearby schools, as they preferred at least one distant team so that more out of town fans would book hotel rooms in the area. [37] UCF instead faced Rutgers in the game.

    Renewed series (2013–present)

    UCF was admitted to join USF in the Big East Conference in 2011 and was set to begin playing there in the 2013–2014 school year. [38] Conference realignment turned the Big East into the American Athletic Conference prior to the fall 2013 season. For the first time, both schools were part of the same conference, and the rivalry resumed as a regular conference match beginning with the 2013 season. [39] [40]

    Since 2013, the games have been scheduled for Thanksgiving weekend. [41] [42] In 2015, the game was played on Thanksgiving night, and in 2016, the game was played on the Saturday of that week,which will happen again for the 2022 meeting. However, in most years it has been scheduled for Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.

    The 2022 football game was the last game scheduled between the teams because UCF left the American for the Big 12 Conference starting in 2023. As of now, no future games have been scheduled.

    Game results

    Since 2005, the Bulls and Knights have played fourteen times. The Knights lead the series, 8-6. The game has been played in two cities and three stadiums: Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, and Camping World Stadium and FBC Mortgage Stadium in Orlando, Florida. UCF holds a 8–2 series lead in conference games against USF.

    The two schools began competing against one another in men's basketball during the 1971–72 season and have met 48 times to date. The Bulls currently hold a 27–19 edge over the Knights, however two Knights' victories were vacated due to NCAA sanctions, and UCF holds a 14–7 series lead since both teams joined the American Athletic Conference. [43] USF and UCF are both tied for the longest win streaks in the series with the Bulls having won nine consecutive games against their rival from 1994 to 2007, while the Knights won nine straight from 2016 to 2020. [44] [45] The schools met in the postseason for the first time when they played in the first round of the 2022 American Athletic Conference tournament, which UCF won 60–58; they were scheduled to face each other in the first round of the 2020 edition before it was canceled less than an hour before tip-off due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

    3. ↑ UCF claims South Florida leads the series 29–12

    USF and UCF claim two different women's basketball records, due to when they declare the first meeting occurred. According to USF, they lead the women's basketball series 32–17, with the first meeting occurring on January 20, 1973, with a 41–30 Bulls win in Tampa. [47] According to UCF, the first meeting occurred on January 12, 1978, with USF winning 81–70 in Tampa, resulting in a 29–14 USF lead in the series. [48] South Florida has won two of the three times the schools met in the American Athletic Conference tournament (the 2018 semifinal and the 2021 championship game, with UCF winning in the 2022 championship game). The Bulls hold a 12–8 lead in conference play. [49] [50] [51] In 2021, the Bulls and Knights were in first and second place in the conference respectively going into the final two games of the regular season, both of which were War on I-4 matchups. UCF needed to win both games to clinch the title, while USF only needed to win one. The Bulls beat the Knights in Tampa in the first game to win the conference championship. [52] The Bulls beat the Knights again nine days later in the AAC Tournament championship game. [53] They met again in the championship game the following season, where the Knights came away victorious. The Bulls also won the 2023 regular season AAC title in a win at UCF on February 15.
