Gators were a juggernaut from 83-85 that never got the recognition due to several factors.
First the canes dynasty under Howard and Jimmy launched.
Second Pat Dye fielded the best team in the country in 83 and Bo Jackson was running wild.
Third, probation.
Those AU-UF games from 83-87 were vicious blood baths though. Pell broke ever record for cheating on the books, but I think UF had more talent than any team in football overall from 83-85. UF may have won the natty in 83 if Bo had not gone 80 yards for the win over UF. 84, UF was clearly the best in the nation, and that 85 Gator D was just stupid good. Only team ever that truly stopped Bo Jackson and they destroyed him.
