What about overall record and SEC record since the 1992 expansion

I'm sure Florida has the better overall record and SEC record since 1992.

More importantly average finish in the polls

Not sure, but I bet if you average them all up, they would actually be pretty close.

Alabama has been unranked in the AP poll 7 times since 1992 and Florida has been unranked 5 times.

1st place - Alabama (5), Florida (3)
Top 5 - Alabama (7), Florida (8)
Top 10 - Alabama (12), Florida (13)

Pretty even with the most important stat (#1 finishes) going to Alabama.

When you ask if there has been a "changing of the guard" in terms of the SEC's top team being Florida instead of Alabama, I think the answer is pretty clearly no. Florida has a had a great run since 1992, but the problem is Alabama has too albeit front loaded and backloaded with a bad spot in the middle.

Also the last 7 years has been dominated by Alabama so to ask if there has been a changing of the guard of top SEC team from Alabama to someone else just seems like a strange question at this time since Alabama has been the top dog again for quite a few years.
