Series History

Alabama and Florida will meet for the 40th time this Saturday, Dec. 3. The Crimson Tide owns the all-time advantage, 25-14 (actual 26-14). Both teams are tied 4-4 in SEC Championship games against one another. In the most recent matchup at the 2015 SEC Championship game, Alabama defeated Florida at the Georgia Dome, 29-15.

These teams have squared off in some epic battles. Alabama claimed a victory in 2005 before falling to the Gators in 2006 in Gainesville and 2008 in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta. The Crimson Tide has since rallied back, earning victories in the last four matchups. Those include the 2009 SEC title and dominating the Gators in the three regular season contests.
