Here's their write-up on Florida

15. Florida Gators

Total points: 834

Positives: Florida has won two of the past three national championships (and three in the past 13 years). It is ahead of in-state rival Miami in fourth place in the BCS era. The Gators have chomped their way to 10 major bowls since 1991, winning six of them. A Gator has won the Heisman Trophy three times -- only four programs can claim more. Their 34 first-round draft picks are the fourth most of any program. They also haven't had a losing season since 1979

Negatives: Most of Florida's success has come in the past 20 years. When using the eras before the BCS was created, Florida never finished higher than 27th in any of them. Through 1958, Florida was buried in the bottom half of the nation, behind schools such as Indiana, Vanderbilt and Rutgers. The Gators didn't win a bowl game in the '70s at all. They also have been on probation three times, costing them 22 points in our formula.

Through the decades: Through 1958: T-80th | 1968: 51st | 1978: 44th | 1988: 43rd | 1998: 20th

Did you know? Florida has six top-5 finishes in the past 25 seasons, which is tied with the rest of the SEC East combined.

it pisses me off to see LSU, Tenn, & UGA ahead of us when we got more championships


especially UGA those bums aint won a ship in damn near 30 years

Had we not been on probation in the 1980's, we would have scored higher.

What really pisses ME off is that they ranked the clowns fromthe SOW at #9 and scUM at #10. The good news is that we're gaining on them, and if the NCAA finally hammers down on St. Booby & Co. we'll leapfrog them.

It was to be expected that other rivals would be ahead of the Gators. First was all troubles with the NCAA. Second was the lack of success early on. Give Florida another national title and continued decline of rival programs and Florida will move up rapidly past other Rivals.
