You don't take issue with the image?
We have more than 100 more wins than UF. We are 8th in all time victories.
It took UF 53 years to win a conference crown, and it was vacated for cheating.
"UNDEFEATED NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!" -- Said no Gator fan ever.
UF has NEVER had an undefeated season.
But UF has had a season as recently as 1979 where it won no games at all.
UT has not failed to win at least 4 games a season since 1924, while programs like UF, UA and AU all had seasons with no wins at all.
Now, that is certainly a left-handed compliment for the Volunteers but the factors that caused a 10 year decline in UT fortunes have abated.

Since you mentioned the 70s: UT is 5th in winning pct and 6th in SEC titles since 1970. I'm not inclined to look it up right now, but UF is better than that.
UT isn't in the top 10 programs in the last 5 years, 10 years, 15 years, 20, 30, 40, or 50 years. They were hell, though, back in the 1920s and 30s.
