Alabama v. Florida

Although both Alabama and Florida are founding members of the Southeastern Conference, the two teams have never played that many games against each other. Tonight's game will only be the 36th meeting in over 100 years of football (Alabama leads the series 21-14), and seven of those games took place in the SEC championship:

1992: Alabama 28, Florida 21 (Alabama went on to win the national championship)

1993: Florida 28, Alabama 13

1994: Florida 24, Alabama 23

1996: Florida 45, Alabama 30 (Florida won national title)

1999: Alabama 34, Florida 7

2008: Florida 31, Alabama 20 (Florida won national title)

2009: Alabama 32, Florida 13 (Alabama won national title)

In fact, in the last two meetings Alabama and Florida were ranked #1 and #2. In both games the number 2 team beat the number 1 team. Tonight is merely number 1 (Alabama) versus number 7. But it should still be a pretty good game.
