re: Florida to lose BYE week before UGA game?

Interesting dilemma. Idaho is a D1 school. With their year last year, a loss a sure D1 win could prove the difference between bowling and not - however I am sure they are so egotistical they will not recognize that.

Idaho was going to get paid ~$1mm to play the game. But that is nothing compared to the loss of revenue for the gators if they don't play that game.

They do have an open date on Sept 27, but at this late date could they find someone to fill that gap?

My bet is they play 11 games this year to keep the bye before UGA and avoid playing 9 straight games to close the season.
