Here is every SEC schools most played opponent in football

Florida: Georgia (94 or 95 games)



This dispute is ridiculous and needs to be ended, once and for all.

Turn back the clock to 1904 & we can settle it.

Series history

The two universities do not agree on when the rivalry began. The University of Georgia's athletic department counts a 1904 match its football squad played against a team from a school known as the University of Florida.[1] The game was held in Macon, Georgia, and Georgia won 52–0.[1] However, this was not the modern University of Florida in Gainesville, but one of its four predecessor institutions: a school previously known as Florida Agricultural College, based in Lake City.[2] Florida's University Athletic Association does not include this game in the series record,[3] as it occurred before the modern university was established by the Florida Legislature in 1905,[4] and before the new entity fielded its first officially-recognized football team in 1906.[3] UGA sports historian Dan Magill sums up Georgia's attitude: "That's where Florida was back then. We can't help it if they got run out of [Lake City]."[5]
