Depends on your definition-
If you want a builder who made something out of nothing, Spurrier- takes Florida from 0 on the record SEC or National titles to 6 and 1 in the span of a decade (though given that Miami and FSU both had started to explode only slightly earlier and that Florida was on that same path until the haters from around the conference put us probation for doing the exact same things all of them were doing at the same time Florida exploding may have been inevitable).
If you want sheer dominance its Meyer-- he's the guy who cemented Florida as the 1B to Bama's 1A in the question who's the top SEC program of the modern (championship) era?
For the University as a whole I'd probably put Donavan above either of them though-- he basically built like Spurrier and had a period of National dominance like Meyer.

Yeah, pretty much all of this.
ETA: Tim Walton could get up there as well. Has built our softball program in to a national power and is in the midst of a dynasty with 2 straight national championships.

Meh. If you're including all the way back to 1992, probably. But if you're talking during the time Meyer was there and then after, no.
