:War on I-4

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.{{cite news|title=It's First Nickname Saturday |first1=Rick |last1=Brown |url=http://www.theledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050917/COLUMNISTS0614/509170387/1254 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102155436/http://www.theledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20050917%2FCOLUMNISTS0614%2F509170387%2F1254 |archive-date=November 2, 2013 |newspaper=The Ledger |date=September 17, 2005 |access-date=August 13, 2012 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web |url= http://www.wftv.com/news/brus-clues-week-14-college-football-picks/165933797 |title=Bru's Clues: Week 14 College Football Picks |last1=Bruey |first1=Christian |date=November 27, 2013 |website= www.wftv.com |publisher= WFTV |access-date=November 30, 2013}} In 2016, when the schools announced the official competition, they formally adopted the "War on I-4" name.{{cite web|title=USF & UCF Establish "War on I-4" Rivalry Series| date=September 21, 2016 |url=http://www.gousfbulls.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=7700&ATCLID=211180079|access-date=September 21, 2016|publisher=University of South Florida}}{{cite web|last1=Seeley|first1=Andy|title=UCF, USF Debut Rivalry Series – UCFKnights.com {{!}} UCF Knights|url=http://ucfknights.com/news/2016/9/21/ucf-usf-debut-rivalry-series.aspx|access-date=September 21, 2016|website=ucfknights.com}}

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 South Florida 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.

Founded in 1956 and 1963, respectively, the University of South Florida and the University of Central Florida are located {{convert|98|miles}} away from each other in Tampa and Orlando, which combined make up the fourth-largest media market in the United States.{{Cite web|title=UCF, USF Establish War On I-4 Rivalry Series|url=https://www.war-on-i4.com/WarOnI4091615|access-date=2021-04-02|website=www.war-on-i4.com}} 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){{cite news|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2007/04/13/golden-era-ends-for-ucf/|first1=Kyle|last1=Hightower|title='Golden' era ends for UCF|publisher=Orlando Sentinel |date=April 13, 2007}} and the University of South Florida Golden Brahmans that both schools agree happened (South Florida 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.{{cite web|title=History|url=http://www.war-on-i4.com/History |website=www.war-on-i4.com|access-date=October 1, 2016}} Since that game, South Florida and UCF have begun series against each other in eight or nine other sports, depending on which schools' records are used.

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.{{Cite web |title=About the War On I-4 |url=https://www.war-on-i4.com/About-the-War-On-I-4 |access-date=2024-01-31 |website=www.war-on-i4.com}} 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 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 South Florida'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 {{convert|4|ft|3|in}} tall and weighs {{convert|160|lb}}. The score of each game is featured on the base.{{Cite web|title=UCF, USF Reveal War On I-4 Trophy|url=https://www.war-on-i4.com/UCF-USF-Reveal-Trophy|access-date=2021-04-02|website=www.war-on-i4.com}}

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.

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.{{Cite magazine|last=Coleman|first=Madeline|title=Big 12 Will Have Two Football Divisions, BYU AD Said|url=https://www.si.com/college/2021/09/10/big-12-will-have-two-football-divisions-conference-invites-four-new-teams-byu-ad|access-date=2021-10-04|magazine=Sports Illustrated|date=September 10, 2021 |language=en-us}} 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.{{Cite web|title=Future USF Football Non-Conference Schedules|url=https://fbschedules.com/ncaa/usf/|access-date=23 Feb 2021|website=FBSchedules.com}}{{Cite web|title=Future UCF Football Schedules|url=https://fbschedules.com/ncaa/ucf/|access-date=2021-10-06|website=FBSchedules.com|language=en-US}}

It is unknown if the trophy is still being awarded, albeit with fewer sports than before, with the winner being based on those meetings, or if the trophy series is put on hold, as South Florida 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, South Florida 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.

For 2024-25, South Florida and UCF only played single games of Men’s Soccer, Women’s Soccer, and Women’s Tennis, along with two games for Men’s Tennis, and a 3-game series in baseball.

Since September 21, 2016, when the rivalry series was officially established, South Florida 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:

• 1 point to the winner of each regular season baseball game (6 games per year)
• 3 points to the winner of each regular season men's basketball game (2 games per year)
• 3 points to the winner of each regular season women's basketball game (2 games per year)
• 6 points to the higher finisher at the American Athletic Conference Women's Cross Country Championship
• 6 points to the winner of the annual football game
• 6 points to the higher finisher at the American Athletic Conference Men's Golf Championship
• 6 points to the higher finisher at the American Athletic Conference Women's Golf Championship
• 6 points to the winner the each regular season men's soccer match (3 points awarded to each side in the event of a draw)
• 6 points to the winner of the annual regular season women's soccer match (3 points awarded to each side in the event of a draw)
• 2 points to the winner of each regular season softball game (3 games per year)
• 6 points to the winner of the annual regular season men's tennis match.
• 6 points to the winner of the annual regular season women's tennis match.
• 3 points to the higher finisher at the American Athletic Conference Women's Indoor Track & Field Championship
• 3 points to the higher finisher at the American Athletic Conference Women's Outdoor Track & Field Championship
• 3 points to the winner of each regular season volleyball match (2 matches per year)
• In the event of a tie in the overall competition, the athletic program that scores higher in the annual NCAA Graduation Success Rate will be awarded 1 extra point and crowned as the champion for that season. In the unlikely event that this is also tied, the series ends as a tie for that season and the previous winner retains the trophy.

In some years the scoring is slightly different. For example, South Florida 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.{{cite web |title=USF & UCF establish 'War on I-4' rivalry series |date=September 21, 2016 |url=https://gousfbulls.com/news/2016/9/21/211180079.aspx |publisher=USF Athletics |access-date=13 May 2019}}

UCF clinched the first academic year's overall title with an AAC women's golf championship on April 18, 2017.{{cite web|title=War On I-4 Winners|url=http://ucfknights.com/news/2017/4/18/general-war-on-i-4-winners.aspx|date=April 18, 2017|first=Daniel|last=Forcella |access-date=April 19, 2017|language=en|publisher=University of Central Florida}} 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.{{cite web|title=War On I-4 Champs |url=http://ucfknights.com/news/2017/5/25/general-war-on-i-4-champs.aspx|first=Daniel|last=Forcella|date=May 25, 2017 |publisher=University of Central Florida|language=en}}

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 South Florida finished ninth.{{cite web|title=Knights Finish 2nd at AAC, Secure War On I-4 Title|url=http://ucfknights.com/news/2018/4/17/-w-golf-two-for-the-price-of-one.aspx|first=Andy|last=Seeley|date=April 17, 2018|access-date=April 17, 2018|language=en|publisher=University of Central Florida}}{{cite tweet |title=⚔️ Back-to-Back #WARONI4 Champions ⚔️|user=UCFKnights|date=April 17, 2018|number=986330195396186112}} The series concluded on May 13 with UCF placing higher than South Florida in the 2018 American Athletic Conference outdoor track and field competition and led to a final series score of 49–35 for UCF.{{cite web |title=2017–18 War On I-4 Schedule|url=https://www.war-on-i4.com/Schedule|access-date=May 13, 2018|work=War-on-I4.com}}

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{{Cite web|title=History|url=https://www.war-on-i4.com/History|access-date=2021-02-01|website=www.war-on-i4.com}} 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.{{Cite web|title=War on I-4 Schedule / Scoreboard|url=https://www.war-on-i4.com/Schedule|access-date=2021-02-01|website=www.war-on-i4.com}} 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.{{Cite web|title=2021 Softball Schedule|url=https://gousfbulls.com/sports/softball/schedule|access-date=2021-02-01|website=USF Athletics|language=en}} 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 South Florida 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 South Florida beat UCF in the 2021 American Athletic Conference baseball tournament championship game, though this did not add to South Florida's point total as it was a postseason meeting.{{Cite web|title=Houston Sweeps Men's And Women's Titles At 2021 American Outdoor Track & Field Championships|url=https://theamerican.org/news/2021/5/16/houston-sweeps-mens-and-womens-titles-at-2021-american-outdoor-track-field-championships.aspx|access-date=2021-05-17|website=theamerican.org|language=en}}

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 South Florida 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 South Florida 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 South Florida 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. South Florida 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 South Florida beat UCF 83–77.

During 2024–25, the two schools only scheduled regular season games in five sports, resulting in 30 points up for grabs, with 16 needed to win. The fall slate included a Women’s Soccer game on September 5 and a Men’s Soccer game on September 15. South Florida won the Women's Soccer game and tied the Men's Soccer game, giving them a 9–3 lead. The spring slate included Men’s Tennis games on February 3 and March 9, a Women’s Tennis game on February 9, and a 3-game series in Baseball from February 28 to March 2. UCF won the first Men’s Tennis game to cut the South Florida lead to 9–6 before winning the Women’s Tennis game to take a 12–9 lead. In Baseball, South Florida won the first game via mercy rule to narrow the UCF lead to 12–11 before UCF returned the favor with two mercy rule wins of their own to clinch the point series. South Florida then won the Men’s Tennis game to narrow their loss to 16–14.

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.{{cite news |title=USF-UCF comes to fruition|first1=Pete|last1=Young |url=http://www.sptimes.com/2003/05/03/Sports/USF_UCF_comes_to_frui.shtml |newspaper=St. Petersburg Times |date=May 3, 2003 |access-date=August 12, 2012}}{{cite news |title= Inevitable Debate Must Wait Until 2001 |first1=Mark |last1=Didtler|first2=Jerry|last2=Greene|url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/1997/08/29/inevitable-debate-must-wait-until-2001/ |newspaper=Orlando Sentinel |date=August 29, 1997 |access-date=August 12, 2012}} 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. 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.{{cite news |title= Hey Bulls: An I-4 War is Good for USF; UCF Medical Journal |first1=Mike|last1=Bianchi |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/279607267 |newspaper=Orlando Sentinel |date=May 5, 2001|access-date=August 13, 2012|id={{ProQuest|279607267}} }} Serious planning for a series did not commence until 2003.

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. That year, the schools' athletics directors met and agreed to schedule games for the 2005 and 2006 seasons.{{cite news |first1=Kyle |last1=Hightower |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2003/05/03/grid-lock-ucf-will-play-usf/ |newspaper= Orlando Sentinel |title=Grid Lock: UCF Will Play USF |date=May 3, 2003 |access-date=June 7, 2014}} Subsequently, South Florida joined the Big East, an Automatic Qualifying conference, in 2005,{{cite web |title=Important Dates in USF Football History |url=http://www.gousfbulls.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=7700&ATCLID=204765601 |publisher=University of South Florida Athletic Association |year=2013 |access-date=June 6, 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714230213/http://www.gousfbulls.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=7700&ATCLID=204765601 |archive-date=July 14, 2014}} while UCF joined C-USA the same year.{{cite news |title=UCF, 4 Others Join C-USA |first1=Alan |last1=Schmadtke |url=https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2003/11/05/ucf-4-others-join-c-usa/ |newspaper=Orlando Sentinel |date=November 5, 2003 |access-date=June 7, 2014}} The Bulls won both games, which both drew crowds over 45,000.

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.

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.
