Georgia off the top of my head.
Georgia was not good last year.

We played Auburn, who lost in the last seconds to FSU, I would call that a draw.

The only reason I must resort to the hypothetical is because Alabama and Florida did not get dealt the same hand. Also, Georgia still had a potent offense last season. Did you see what a healthier Georgia did versus LSU and Auburn last season?
You cannot neglect the injuries and Florida's offensive ineptitude and get a less biased answer. I'm an Alabama fan, but I can consider the other factors that played into Florida's numbers the past 2 seasons.
You're focusing on 2013. How about 2012? I think you'd have a harder time there considering how close Florida and Alabama were in several defensive rankings. 2012 Florida played 5 Top 15 teams in the regular season. Alabama played 2 (3 if you include Georgia). It's not fair to compare the results versus common opponents though since Florida got Texas A&M and LSU before they found their identity, but those games give you a clue of Florida's potential. 2012 Florida's offense wasn't great either.

We're talking about offense.
LINK
FSU was five spots higher. I wouldn't call that equal. 18 yards isn't much of a difference, but then you look at Scoring Offense.
LINK
FSU has 12 points on Auburn.
FSU's offense was better. How big was the difference? Not huge.
