The Florida–Tennessee football rivalry is an American college football rivalry game played annually by the Florida Gators football team of the University of Florida and the Tennessee Volunteers football team of the University of Tennessee. Approximately miles ( km) from each other, the Gators and Vols first met on the gridiron in 1916, and have competed in the same conference since Florida and UT joined the now-defunct Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1910 and 1895, respectively. However, a true rivalry has developed only during the last two decades due to infrequent match-ups previously; in the first seventy-six years (1916–1991) of the series, the two teams met just twenty-one times.

  • The Florida–Tennessee football rivalry is an American college football rivalry game played annually by the Florida Gators football team of the University of Florida and the Tennessee Volunteers football team of the University of Tennessee. Approximately miles ( km) from each other, the Gators and Vols first met on the gridiron in 1916, and have competed in the same conference since Florida and UT joined the now-defunct Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 1910 and 1895, respectively. However, a true rivalry has developed only during the last two decades due to infrequent match-ups previously; in the first seventy-six years (1916–1991) of the series, the two teams met just twenty-one times. In 1992, when the Southeastern Conference (SEC) expanded to twelve universities and split into two divisions, Florida and Tennessee were both placed in the SEC's Eastern Division, and have met annually on the football field since then. The rivalry quickly blossomed in intensity and importance, as both squads were perennial SEC and national championship contenders throughout the 1990s and early 2000s. __TOC__
