Why does Florida not care if the games played? That's the question I want answered.

35-0 in Baton Rouge.

They're refusing to move it. Exactly the same.

This is why:

quote:

Not to say these scenarios will play out, but in the unlikely event that both teams were to win out the rest of their SEC schedules, UF would be very likely to benefit from the cancellation of this game, while LSU would be more likely to be at a disadvantage. This is because of how the division races would likely go (assuming LSU and UF win out).

In the East, Florida needs Tennessee to lose two games and not to lose any games themselves. That formula works for them regardless of whether they play seven games or eight. If UT finishes 6-2, it doesn't matter whether UF is 6-1 or 7-1, UF still wins.

In the West, LSU only needs a loss by Auburn, which is virtually certain to happen, but only if we get to play the full eight games. Alabama (or Texas A&M, if they beat Alabama) will probably not lose any games (other than LSU, assuming LSU wins out), so they will finish 7-1. Although with a head to head win, LSU would hold the tiebreaker over both, we would need to play the full eight games to be able to force the tie. If we go 6-1 and beat them, but they go 7-1, then they would win the division despite our both having one loss and our having beaten them head to head.

So, the situation is that Florida gets no benefit from playing this game, even if they win it, and avoiding the chance of losing it is a big help to them. LSU needs to win the game and stands to lose the division even if it wins out if the game isn't played.

The University of Florida has said it repeatedly for the last two days with their actions. They are intentionally thwarting any contingency plan if the game can't be played in Gainesville, while knowing there is a realistic possibility that that will be the case. They're gambling on being able to play in Gainesville this weekend and risking cancellation if we can't because they would be perfectly happy to see the game cancelled.

Here's what the Florida AD said:

quote:

The game will not be moved out of Gainesville

Notice that he didn't say the game will be played in Gainesville, he just said it would not be moved.

Why is Florida so scared of LSU as to actually cancel the game?

That is unbelievable.
