Well let me see if I have this straight..?

[Chilmonty]

JRM, Kirkland and Sutton out, although still able to win without them.

Now Hurd is probably out, and LSU FL game postponed maybe canceled, so FL has better chance of finishing with one loss, Correct?

Been trying not to go Full Panic Mode but.....:yikes:

Think it was posted if Florida doesn't play eight conference games, they don't have the better record.

It's simple. According to SEC bylaws, each SEC team must play 8 conference games. No physics to it. Just the way it is.

 

[Iam4utalways]

As for Florida the rule says best winning % not #, irrelevant because Florida will lose more SEC games than we do, since we go 9-0 and they are already tagged with a loss by us.

A&M are the ones that are in trouble. They play our Vols and we are still stacked on offense and defense.

Go Vols!

So there is NO POSSIBLE WAY that FL can win east if they only play 7 SEC games? No way they get some kind of waiver or make a stink to try and get that rule overturned?? just asking?

Nope, it's in the books. However, I cannot see the conference bypassing LSU-Florida. Just don't see it.

 

[ProfessorD]

Just read on 247 sports that the by laws state that the team with the better winning percentage advances to seccg. Florida 6-1 is better winning percentage than Tennessee 6-2. The article even went on to say that Florida would not push very hard to reschedule that game because if they lose it they are definitely out if we have the same record. Just stating what I read.

This would be an interesting scenario with great ratings: We get to the end of the season and SECCG gets postponed one week for FL-LSU game. Winner goes to SECCG (1 loss Florida or a 1 loss LSU) with Tennessee and Bama/aTm biting their nails watching the game to see who gets eliminated.

I prefer Tennessee to just win out though!

You've summed up my feelings. I'm also PISSED. UGA vs Scar just rescheduled. Why can't FL?

The team with the highest winning % represents. The best Fl can hope for is 85.71. Plan A we will be at 100%.

Plan A all the way to Tampa.

SEC conference governing bylaws and regulations. Geez. :loco:

This is the way it seems to me. Some emphasize the 8 game mention but others emphasize the winning % mention. As far as I know there has been no official comment.

 

[Boston Vol]

Kyle Tucker has an article on SEC Country saying that if Florida goes 6-1 and Tennessee goes 6-2 that Florida goes to the SECCG. This was also confirmed by Brett McMurphy on Finebaum earlier this evening.

Maybe youre right, hope you are. Care to prove it? Got a link?

 

[ProfessorD]

Here's the link. SEC rules would give 6-1 Florida the nod over 6-2 Tennessee

Yeah looking for some proof. Hearing both arguments.
