The UF-Oregon comparison is pretty bad, maybe UF is hard to pair up but there's not all that much in common with them.

Va Tech maybe? Neither program was exactly a powerhouse until a legendary coach came in and turned it around. Florida has 3 titles to VT's 0, but both have been very good for the most part since Spurrier and Beamer showed up. I think Fuente could eventually take VT to bigger heights than Beamer did (like Meyer did, but not nearly as dominant) and win a national title there.

It's a reach, but it's the best I can come up with without putting way too much thought into it. Florida is a unique program to make a comparison to.
