The Florida State-Auburn football series is over, apparently another victim of conference realignment.

Auburn, which handed Florida State one of its two losses this past season, paid Florida State $20,000 to end the contract after two years of a 10-year deal.

The Southeastern Conference, which includes Auburn, recently expanded by two teams with the admission of Arkansas and South Carolina. Florida State, an independent, joined the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Florida State officials said they received a letter from Auburn on Jan. 7 informing them that the series was off, beginning immediately. The next game was scheduled for Oct. 19.
