Marco Rubio, a U.S. senator from Florida running for President, gave his firm stance on the Florida-Florida State rivalry while talking to Iowa's KXNO 1460 AM, which you can hear around the 1:50 mark:
"Look, I don’t have anything against Florida State. I think there has to be a school where people who can’t get into Florida can go to college."
Oooooohhh buuuurn. Although, with Rubio being a University of Florida and a University of Miami alum, this isn't too surprising. Pretty good one, senator.
Also of note: this isn't his first time being involved with a sports-politics collision!

A day later ...
#FSU fans relax. It was just college football trash talk on sports radio, not serious statement on @meetthepress
