Think about this... assuming we somehow pull off the unthinkable and win the next 3...

We beat LSU... we move up to 10-15 in the CFP ranking next week.

We beat FSU... we move up to 5-10 in the CFP rankings.

We beat Bama... and I think we're in.

You also have to look at the fact that there will likely only be a couple of teams with 1 loss and a lot with 2 losses. Ohio State-Michigan loser will have a loss, with the winner having another chance to lose to Wisconsin if they do indeed play in the Big 10 championship. Louisville may lose to Houston or Kentucky. Clemson could lose again in the ACC championship game. Alabama could lose to Auburn (We don't necessarily need all of those to happen, just a couple)

Florida would also be the SEC champions, so that will have to a good amount of weight. Plus to finish with those 3 games, I don't think anyone else could rival it.

Who knows, gentlemen, it's been an odd year save Alabama dominating everyone.

Seriously, there is no fricking way any of that happens.

No. fricking. Way.

I just hope UF fights hard, and beats FSU.

No way as in this team is not capable or no way as in if it happens we're not in?

I think we're capable and will need a lot of lucky (like turnovers). But it's still possible.

It's possible, but this coaching staff would have to show me more -- they have to show me this Saturday that they can gameplan and do more than average.

If they learn and have a successful gameplan, then sure, but I just don't see it in the pipeline, boyo.

None. We'll be lucky to get a good bowl at this point. Citrus or Outback

Negative thoughts are just negative thoughts. I dont do negative.

The Florida State College for Women is in our sights and we can definitely win that game....we got payback to and dont sleep on Bama...no one and I mean NO ONE is unbeatable!!!

Win the next two and look out! Our OL is playing extremely well now and I love TJ at center....Tony's son. He and the rest of the OL just need to be plowdogs and get our run game going and let Appleby take a few shots deep. If you rewatch our game yesterday...after Jackson got beat deep by Cleveland...our run game started to gel even better!!! They had to have safety help or risk being burned.

Tallyban here we come baby!

If we're 12th or better in the CFB Playoff rankings this week then look out.

Beat FSU and were 7th or 8th. Then Bama becomes a quarterfinal game imo

If we somehow did, we'd definitely had earned it and would be considered one of the hottest teams in the country

Absolutely.

A win on the road @ LSU, @ FSU, then against Bama in Atlanta?

UF would easily deserve a spot in the CFB playoff and it wouldn't be close.

The downside would be a likely rematch with Bama, like LSU had in 2011

The dilemma I'm having is whether or not to cheer for Alabama in the iron bowl.

They win, we face the number 1 team and it helps the resume.

They lose and the we're nothing staring at the playoffs with the game, but the win over them wouldn't be as strong since they may not be #1 going in.

Tough call.

I want them #1 and undefeated. We still owe them some revenge for the 09 game.

Seems like the polls don't give us much respect . But I think it if we win out lt would be hard to keep us out of the playoffs. This year is setting up to really push for an 8 team playoff. I think we only move up to 15-20 this week in the playoff poll. The next 2 weeks should have some great games .

So many things would have to perfectly fall into place. So many things.

Not to mention UF would have to actually beat Alabama.

1000-1 shot.
