That UF team was one of the best in the SEC in the 80s, and they deserve the title, especially considering ncaa "rules" now.
No offense to Florida fans but I would disagree with your statement. I don't care what the rules are now, they broke the rules as they were then and everybody else was (supposedly) playing under. Just because the things they did back then are now ok, doesn't mean we overlook them. They broke the rules and they paid the consequences. They broke the rules so they would have an unfair advantage over their opponents. You don't reward that because the rules changed 40 years later.

This. For folks to try to proclaim Florida as the ‘84 champions, then why not Auburn in 1993? Went undefeated and beat both the East and West champs.
Neither of course has a right to the title but you can’t argue for one without the other.
