In terms of history and W''s and L's I can see Vandy being one of the 3. I checked the all time record once and saw that they have beaten Kentucky more times than any other team with the exception of UT.
So UT, Vandy, and then Fla sound about right.

Maybe it's more like being jilted on your wedding day, and finding out two days later your fiance ran off with some dude you can't stand.
