Once upon a time, a matchup between Florida and Tennessee was appointment national television on CBS. Those days are long gone because of the rapid fall from grace of Tennessee. There was a time when Tennessee was considered a national power for college football betting games. Now the Volunteers will be lucky to limp into a minor bowl. By contrast, Florida is good but hardly great. The Gators are methodically working towards power elite status under second-year head coach Dan Mullen. Initially, Mullen has stopped the bleeding of the program that he inherited. He simply needs time.
