Clearly. Florida speed is indeed so fast, that voters didn't get a chance to actually see any of the players on the field, and therefore could not rank them...mainly out of fear.

The last time neither was ranked was the final regular-season AP Top 25 of 1982
To be accurate, there were only 20 teams ranked that year. FSU was 8-2 and #15, lost their regular season home finale 10-13 to Florida to drop out of the top-20, then won the Gator Bowl over Bobby's former West Virgina team 31-12. They were #13 in the final AP poll after the bowls.
In 1989, the AP switched to a top-25.
