Tenn/UGA would still suck
Well...the decade that Spurrier coached was one of the best decades in UT football history so I don't know where "still" suck comes from

UF and UT would've been playoff bound nearly every other year during that era. Both teams would've rematched. That's how good those two teams were during that era and how much better they were than most of the other teams in the country.
Of course both would've gotten owned by Nebraska in the early matchups.

Clowney doesn't go to South Carolina. Maybe Clemson, Georgia, or Bama?
Not just Clowney.
Alshon Jeffrey probably would've gone to So. Cal (where he was committed to for most of the process)
Marcus Lattimore probably would've gone to Auburn.
At least for one season they would've had Dyer and Lattimore in the backfield.

This is the great coach that won one damn national championship with one of the best recruiting bases in the nation and a school who would give him whatever resources he needed to compete. Meyer was more successful at Florida in his short stint that Spurrier ever was.
We don't have to completely speculate what his future tenure at Florida may have been like. He had a run of 9–5 (East title), 11–2, 11–2, and 11–2 at South Carolina. In his 11 seasons at South Carolina, his only losing season was his very last. He did all of that at a school with far lesser recruiting capabilities, and was not at all in good shape when he took over. If you don't think Spurrier could have also won the NC in '06, and '08 like Meyer, then you're delusional. Also, he maybe wouldn't have fricked it up in '12 like Muschamp did.

Spurrier was burnt out at UF. 10-11 years at a top level SEC school seems to be about when things start to get stale. I know I have heard an interview before he stated it was a grind running a clean program in the SEC and against FSU/Miami on a yearly basis and he didn't want to spend 23 hours a day recruiting. Richt, Tuberville, Saban were all establishing themselves at big 6 schools and Tennessee had just beaten one of his better teams. He needed a change.
