For the first time in decades no Florida team is in the final AP top 25. (I don’t see any coming after the bowls.) That and our loss to UCF got me curious about the State of Florida football the last 10 years.
UF has been ranked in the top 25 6 times in the last 10 years, 3 times in the top 10, 3 top 25 and 2 top 10 in the last 5 years.
F$U has ranked in the top 25 5 times, including 3 top 10 with a NC in 2013, but has ended unranked the last 5 years.
scUM, the supposed other “big 3” has been ranked just twice in the last 10 years and once in the last 5 years.
UCF has been ranked 4 times, with 2 top 10s and ranked 3 times with 1 top 10 in the last 5 years.
UF, despite our troubles, is the clearly the best program in the state. USF is clearly 5th.
But who is #2 or #3 or #4 right now? I have a hard time believing F$U won’t bounce back to being at least decent, but scUM’s futility and typically empty stadium have slipped them behind UCF in my view.
Thoughts?
