As Tennessee vs. Florida rivalry prepares to take a backseat, here's how much we'll miss it

Dial back the clock to the 1990s, and Tennessee-Florida ranked
among college football's best rivalries.


Phillip Fulmer vs. Steve Spurrier.


Peyton Manning vs. Danny Wuerffel.


The SEC East on the line.


Pandemonium reigns.


The rivalry isn't what it used to be, and the series never had
the history of Alabama-Tennessee or Florida-Georgia.


Still, No. 9 Tennessee vs. Florida on Saturday has the feel of a
big game – albeit not to the extent of some of those '90s clashes
when both teams were ranked.


This series is unlikely to remain an annual rivalry after the SEC
expands to 16 teams next year. The game is on the docket for
2024. After that, its future is uncertain. If the game is not
among the rivalries the SEC opts to preserve annually, it will
continue to be played twice every four years.


On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer, Adam Sparks and John
Adams rank, from 1 through 10, how much they'll miss this series
if it does, indeed, get interrupted. 


They also discuss whether Josh Heupel ought to re-evaluate Joe
Milton's status as starting quarterback.
