UF was #2 for a minute.


when?

The only case that could even fathomably be made would be in 2008 after winning their 3rd national title, but UT hadn't fallen off a cliff yet at that point. Even still when comparing to UT at that point it'd go:

National titles: Tie, or +1 for UF depending on your criteria
SEC titles: Massive edge to Tenn
All time wins: Tenn
Win Percentage: Tenn
Bowl games: Tenn
Bowl wins: Tenn

UF has never at any point in their history been the #2 ALL-TIME best program historically

4 more SEC titles doesn't trump natties and Heismans. Plus all time wins vs final ranked teams, win % vs final ranked teams, major bowl wins, and head to head.

There's the 90s when Florida was 7-3 vs Tennessee.
2008 is another good example.
I said a minute, not an hour.
