Florida gives the "Other 8" hope that a program can climb up into the upper group.
AP Top 25 Finishes for Florida:
1952- #15
----------
1957- #17
1958- #18
1959- #19
1960- #14
----------
1969- #14
----------
1974- #15
----------
1983- #6
1984- #3
1985- #5
----------
Their resume looked very similar to the resumes today for the programs of Arkansas, Ole Miss, Texas A&M, Missouri, etc.
Then 1990 came around and Florida embarked on 12 consecutive Top 25 finishes (10 of which were Top 10 finishes). Later came five more consecutive Top 13 finishes (2005-2009) which also included 2 National Titles.
Similar bursts of excellence were enjoyed by Miami and Florida State in the 1980s/1990s.
So here is a message of hope to all the lesser programs out there: All you need is a population explosion in your state coupled with the hiring of a legendary coach on par with Spurrier, Bowden, etc., and you might jump up into the upper echelon.
