Everybody is talking about Auburn to the Sugar Bowl if Florida loses in the Championship game. But if they play Alabama a halfway decent game and still lose I could see them jumping Auburn in the poll. Winning your division should count for something.

Would have been a done deal had they beat FSU or even played well during that game. But right now no.

Nope. You're in.

It does. It gets you to Atlanta. Doesn't get you to the Sugar bowl

Whoever goes to that game is probably going to get absolutely shredded by the B12 team.

FL keeps it within 10 points they go.
Anything more than 2 scores and it is Auburn.
I also see Bama winning 41-6 ish.

Yeah, but Auburn and Florida don't exactly have an offense to take advantage of that.

I was there for both, too. Never again New Orleans, never again.

Auburn with a healthy Pettway and Shaun White are going in dry on the Big XII.

Florida is going to get manhandled

Not necessarily.

This is actually a decent argument and I could see it. I think Auburn is the better team top to bottom with White healthy at least just due to the number of injuries Florida has on defense.

In some cases, not winning your division will get you to the national title.

Florida is beat up, and not fun to watch right now, and won't travel well.
No way they get the sugar.

I would think the Committee would have credited them with winning their division in their rankings last week... since that is when they clinched. I don't think they will move up anymore based off of winning their division. That accomplishment is two weeks old now.
However, I agree with you. If they give Bama more of a fight than Auburn did, I could see them moving up just based on that. Essentially Florida needs to score an offensive touchdown and lose by two touchdowns or less. If they can do that, I agree they may be in the Sugar Bowl.

They had 270 yards against LSU's defense of which 98 came on one play. Let that sink in. They will get skull fricked by Alabama and no, they won't deserve to go to the Sugar Bowl. But the way the committee has been ranking teams I wouldn't be surprised if they jump Auburn after getting dragged all over the field.

Florida might not score this Saturday. It would be the first time they don't score since 1988.
If Florida goes to the Sugar Bowl, they would embarrass the SEC against Oklahoma.
We don't want Florida in the Sugar Bowl.
Nobody wants Florida in the Sugar Bowl, except the Big Twelve can't count conference.

Florida is not going to the Sugar unless they upset Bama. They will not go up in the rankings if they lose to Bama. Auburn went down 1 spot, LSU 10 for losing to Bama.

Bama is a 24 point favorite by Vegas. Check out how correct Vegas has been with bama's lines this year. Only LSU beat the spread. The gators only had 170'ish yards against LSU, absent that 98 yr TD pass. bama's defense is better than LSU's.
