Florida final AP Rankings since 2013:

2013: NR
2014: NR
2015: #25
2016: #14
2017: NR

Florida has finished unranked in 3 of the past 5 years... no finishes in the Top 13 in 5 years.

LSU Final AP Rankings since 2012:

2012: #14
2013: #14
2014: NR
2015: #16
2016: #13
2017: #18

No finishes in the Top 12 in six consecutive seasons... next season doesn't look like its going to produce a Top 12 team either.

Tennessee Final AP Rankings since 2002:

2002: NR
2003: #15
2004: #13
2005: NR
2006: #25
2007: #12
2008: NR
2009: NR
2010: NR
2011: NR
2012: NR
2013: NR
2014: NR
2015: #22
2016: #22
2017: NR

No finishes in the Top 11 in sixteen years.... finished unranked in 8 of the past 10 seasons. Ouch

So Florida, LSU, and Tennessee have gone 5, 6, and 12 years respectively without a Top 10 finish.


How long will this continue? Which of these will be the next to finally finish in the Top 10 and how many years from now will it be?

Putting Florida and LSU in the same category as Tennessee isn't doing those programs justice.

UF is a ways away. Like 2 full top5 recruiting cycles, and a stud QB away. I’m not sure if Mullen can recruit well enough to get us where we need to be quite honestly. He should get us more competitive then the last guy though.

One of those teams has the most players in the NFL. Your list must be wrong.

I don't believe that either of these three teams are in a great position moving forward, but I guess Florida would be most likely to have a Top 10 finish next.

UT is on a streak beyond the 12 you give them.

I dunno if "struggling" is really appropriate as concerns LSU. OK, no top 10s in the last 6 years, but ranked in the teens every one of those years but one isn't struggling. Just sayin. :shrug:

I’m glad the down years consist of being a top ~15 program.

Here’s to hoping it gets better not worse. Just need a few more Louisiana baws on staff

Arbitrarily you left out 2011 for LSU (#2) but included it for UT. Still finishing with these ranking is certainly not stellar.... but it is not struggling either. Not even close.

Sounds like OP is trying to feel better about almost winning a title.
