    It dawned on me last night that should LSU, UT, UF and UGA all win this weekend, everyone will have to sit around for 2 days until the BCS rankings are released on Monday at 5:00 pm to find out the East representative. While UF catching UT is a long shot, it hasn't been ruled out yet. Even if UGA loses, how far do they fall?

    This means that Saban and Co may have to put their gameplan on hold. We are familiar with UF and UGA, but I'm sure they want to look at more recent game film.

    And what does UT, UF and UGA do? Do they all practice that Monday under the assumption they are going to Atlanta?

    Strange situation...

    You have just discovered another flaw in the BCS (BullCrapSystem)

    I disagree, this is not a flaw in the BCS. It's not their fault the sec ad's couldn't be more creative. I think ut can rule out worrying about playing. They can only get there if uga loses. Even if they jump uga, uga will be right there behind them with the tiebreaker.

    I suspect that it will be obvious by Saturday evening.

    Georgia will not lose to Georgia Tech unless the entire Georgia team ends up with the flu...

    Florida will very likely get spanked by FSU and Zook will be looking at another loss to an in-state rival which will sink him even deeper coming into the last year on his contract.

    Tennessee will not lose to Kentucky unless someone pays off Clausen or a few of the other Tennessee players. HMMMM???

    I'm not so sure about Florida losing to Florida State. Georgia better not lose to Georgia Tech.

    I think as far as LSU goes, they should start preparing for whoever is projected to win the divison after the games on Saturday.

    We know this, if Georgia wins, no way does Tennessee go.

    I know beating Florida in the SECCG would be SWEET revenge, but the thought of Lavalais and Co. shoving Clausen's head in the turf brings a smile to my face. The picture of that clown leading the Tennessee band makes me want to jump through the television set. Taking care of Farchie last week was just as rewarding as kicking the piss out of TN would be. I know we will likely play Georgia, but one can hope.

    The only way we could get Tennessee is if Georgia loses, and we don't want that.

    You take FSU, I'll take Florida in this one and I'll tell you why.

    Florida has been playing better football than any other team
    in the SEC except maybe LSU.

    Florida State offense has struggled all year and I do believe
    the Gators D will be able to slow them down enough to win.

    Look when FSU played, Miami, Clemson, and I don't remember
    the other game I saw.

    I also think Florida's offense has played better than any team
    in the SEC, except LSU.


    Florida 21
    FSU 17
