Arkansas fans have been crowing about how their team has 5 more wins than UF in their history. Now to be fair let's look at these two teams since Arky joined a real conference in 1992.

This is laughable because us joining is what made the SEC a "real" conference.

The thing that the OP can't understand is prior to Arkansas and S. Carolina joining in 1991, then starting play in 1992. Florida had NEVER had a 10 win season in the entirety of their football program.

So splitting the Conference into 2 divisions, with the football superpowers known as Vanderbilt, Kentucky, and South Carolina in the East division along with underperforming Tennessee and Georgia programs as well you can see why Florida had the potential to cakewalk into greater success.

Florida's winning % as a SEC before the 90's SEC expansion was .539. Pedestrian at best during a time when Miami and FSU were terrible and the Big 3 in Florida were nothings in the college football world.

So if anything Florida has Arkansas to thank for giving them a powder puff schedule that they could build upon and raise their profile. If there's one constant at Florida it's there can be no winning if there are not serious violations and stoppage of honor and morality. In the 80's UF had a decent run while on probation, In the 00's it took serious dancing with the Devil and a lack of integrity to get back to a decent team and prominence.

Can never put a price on integrity unless you're Auburn, Bama, LSU, UF, MSU, Texas, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, UNC, Oklahoma, S. Carolina, Georgia, USC, SMU, Baylor, Texas Tech, Okie St, Colorado, Wichita St, Houston, Washington, Mizzou, or Ohio St.
