Read the SEC bylaws, it clearly states win percentage based on 8 game conference schedule, so by rule even if we lose to Bama and then win out assuming they didn't reschedule that game we still win east

true. you can't win a division without playing 8 games

I can assure you that Orgeron will be fighting to keep that job and that team will be playing for something.

Orgeron if he loses a gsme wont get that job and prolly not if he wins them all. Just saying, a lot easier to keep a team motivated and not focused on the NFL when you have a chance to win a championship. If Florida has one loss and lsu has 3, don't see LSU's inspiration.

They should have made arrangements to play on Sunday or Monday. I don't feel sorry for them at all.

Imagine this scenario. TENN wins out and finishes with one loss. Ala loses only to TENN. Florida doesn't play LSU and wins SEC East with better % than UT. Ala or Fl wins the SECcg. In this scenario TENN doesn't have to play the extra game, has beaten either champ, and finishes with an 11-1 record, the same as Ala or Fl. UT should make the playoffs without the extra game.
And if Fl does lose another conference game, not playing LSU will not matter to the VOLS. They're in ATL

Math is hard. :)

LSU still has to win the game too.

This is what I figured that would have to happen. I bet Florida doesn't like it at all though having to play them away now instead of at home.

They could have easily resolved this by playing on either Sunday night or Monday night of this week. Florida should take the blame quite a bit on this one.

"The SEC commissionerÂ’s regulations requires each football team play all eight conference games in a season in order to be eligible to compete for a divisional title and play in the SEC Championship Game," the statement said. "Had the game not been rescheduled, Florida and LSU would have been ineligible to compete for the SEC title this season."

There is a bit of incentive to gitrdun

The fact that Florida doesn't like is just a plus

That isn't the literal text. I have the rules downloaded to my computer. I would guess that was the hammer brought to bear to force this. And one could easily argue that is the intent of the rules too.

You probably have SEC bylaws downloaded but the Commissioner regulations are a different document and I couldn't find it. Trust me on this, they are different - I looked

I have them both

Edit: regardless in the press release they acknowledged that there are vague areas that will be addressed so at this point it's wait and see on the update

Who sux worse, Florida or LSU? IMHO, I say Florida, but LSU makes such a good effort at being worser, I wouldn't argue.

From a Florida point of view, what sucks is that they now have lost 3 home games on the schedule in 3 years.

However, win or lose (and Florida can win the game), the cool part is having LSU be a home game in 2017 and 2018 when Florida may have a better football team.

As I have said numerous times here in the last week, this Florida team isn't going anywhere so all of this is much ado about nothing.

Did a quick search here is a bylaw set. Don't think it's the current set tho

http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2014/0721/FINAL%20Bylaws%207.18.14.pdf

Here are the regs. Again these look like last year tho.

Edit: sorry struggling at getting an inline link to work but copy/paste works I tested them to be sure. And I don't know if these are the same ones I have at work sorry.

Now that we have the FL-LSU distraction out of the way, we need to make sure that this Saturday's game won't be a trap game.

We need to focus on this Saturday, not next Saturday.

And if the game was canceled, then LSU would have had back to back 11 game regular seasons with a near 10 game last year (USCe flooding).

Maybe Florida and LSU should just play home 12:00 games the first half of season. Gives them more time to squeeze game in if weather gets sucky.

So, this is how LSU's schedule now finishes up:

Sat Oct 22 MISS
Sat Nov 5 BAMA
Sat Nov 12 AT ARK
Sat Nov 19 FLO
Thu Nov 24 AT TX A&M

That's a gauntlet I'm glad we don't have to run.
