I would have to disagree. Alabama-Tennessee and Alabama-Auburn have been hate fests long before Florida was a winning football program.
That's two, which is not more than four.

Because we play them every year and lately(past 6 years) its been for SEC and BCS implications. Alot more than Bama has played them for recently.

The point being that Alabama has two rivalries that have more hatred, for longer periods of time, than anything Florida has.

Alabama and Florida did meet as #1 and #2 for a trip to the BCS national title last season.

More hatred is subjective. Duration is irrelevant. The original post was about numbers.

Why would duration be irrelevant? Does it not take time and history with a specific rival to make the series what it is?

Florida has a lot, and it does seem to have more than most schools. I would say UGA and FSU are close to the top, and I guess UT would have to be 3rd simply because we don't play Miami as often. I think LSU is certainly becoming a respectable rivalry, and one that doesn't get talked about a lot is our long series with Auburn.

UGA first. Then FSU. Then UT.
Not even close. By far FSU the UF's #1 rival. Play them every year and this game always brings in alot of recruits. There's always talk going on before this game.
In-state rivalry > then out of state.

Go look up history and what UGA has done to us and come back and tell me FSU is our biggest rival.

It's not irrelevant in general, it was irrelevant to the point that was originally made. The point being, sheer numbers of rivals.

In so many ways I love what is going on at FSU right now, but a very small part of me misses those games in the 90's. That was THE game.

Not anymore. UGA has been lost in the Gator shadow for quite some time.
