TAMPA, Fla. — It used to be the biggest rivalry game of the week, the month — maybe the entire season.
In 2026, Florida and Tennessee will be complete strangers.
Their once-a-year matchup that, back in the day, featured Steve Spurrier, Peyton Manning, Phillip Fulmer and snark that sometimes even outweighed the stakes — "You can't spell Citrus without 'U-T'" — is absent from the schedule for the first time in 37 seasons.
Alabama-LSU — soon that'll be gone, too, for the first time since 1963.
The Gators and LSU — they'll miss each other this year for the first time since 1970.
