UF almost never does. They generally play FSU and 3 cupcakes (which is better than most of the league since FSU is a powerhouse).
Georgia does every other year or so.
Damn ... you're right. UF has not - I assumed they did because FSU was the instate rival and I was thinking they usually played Miami, but they don't.
Can't fault UGA for their schedule usually - Boise State was a tough OOC series for them.
And as far as the P5 thing goes, that can be a bit misleading.
A couple of seasons ago SCAR because the only team in history to play, and beat, two BCS bowl game winners during the regular season when they beat both Central Florida and Clemson who both went-on to win their BCS bowl games. We played and beat UNC, UCF and Clemson in 2013, ... UCF on the road and it was, by far, our toughest OOC game of the season that year.

I agree, UGA almost always plays a great schedule.
South Carolina has had very solid schedules as well. Like you said, Carolina generally plays a couple BCS teams and also plays UCF/ECU types that are very solid non-P5 teams.

LSU did that in 2011 when they beat Oregon, the Rose Bowl winner, and West Virginia, the Orange Bowl winner.
