I really like the graph because it helps me prove a point that I have mentioned several times. The only reason, UGa leads this series is due to their domination early in the series (before they put face masks on helmets).

I could just as easily look at the chart and say, the only reason UF doesn't have a similar record against UGA as does Vandy is due to 2 coaches... Spurrier and Woodruff - accounted for roughly 40% of your total wins against UGA. It's just picking and choosing stats that support my hypothesis, regardless of whether it's noteworthy or not.

Since the 1950s the series has been close with UF holding a slight lead. Since then both teams have had streaks of domination. The 70s-80s for Georgia and the 90s - 00s for Florida.

Arbitrarily selecting the 1950s as relevant to the discussion is just odd... you can talk about modern football... last decade, last 15 years, maybe even the last 20 years and conceivably be in the realm of decent comparison, but there's little about football in 2019 that resembles football in 1989 even, let alone 1950.

Facemasks on helmets was a pretty insignificant change in the quality of football played at the time. Would be much more valuable to look at integration as a point of reference, SEC expansion periods, SECCG creation, etc... I'm not trying to knock UF as a program, simply that you've got a very odd point of reference to try and justify something that you want to be true. Fans want affirmation over information though... "if it supports my beliefs, it's valid"...
