Before spurrier Florida wasn't great but is on a run now just like lsu with Saban

The supposed weakness of Florida pre-Spurrier is a myth. Florida has outperformed everyone in the East over the last 50 years or more. They haven't had a losing season since 1979, WAY before Spurrier. The one knock against them was that they didn't win the SEC title until Spurrier, but even that is just a technicality, as they did finish first in the SEC in 1984 and 1985, but were ineligible for the title (in fact, the 1984 title was originally awarded to them and then stripped and vacated). Florida has always been a solid team, even if not a superpower like they have been now for the last 20+ years. Long-term demographic trends suggest they will continue their dominance of the East for the foreseeable future.
