Because the alternative for Florida is having to play Alabama more often.

This.

Also, it's not like the league office is going to let Florida play a weaker permanent cross division game any more than they'd let LSU play a weaker one than Florida every year.

Also, there are about 12 Florida posters on this site vs. a gazillion LSU ones.

Most of the bitching from LSU fans isn't so much about playing Florida as it is about Bama skating two years in a row with the "bridge" schedule.

The league office could have cleared all that up with a thorough explanation of why the "bridge" schedule necessitates the schedules that LSU and Bama were given.

All spilled milk at this point though. I support a nine game schedule as Saban does. Gets us back to where we were before Mizzou and A&M screwed things up. Also, the nine game schedule will piss off Muschamp.
