LSU v Florida cancelled this Saturday

[bamaphil]

Well I would my lives protected period. My one question I have seen no answer to though would be what if Fla. has one loss and one less game. I believe as someone mentioned and Tenn. 2 losses even at out of the East side of the conference? Would Tenn. still go to the SECCG with having played one less game? Fla. winning % would be higher as we see on our pick board sometimes, somebody only picks 9 out of ten and loses one their % is higher. RTR!

If Florida plays one less game and both TN and Florida have the same number of losses, then TN goes because it has a higher winning percentage.  If Florida has one loss and TN has two losses, then Florida goes, which is what Butch Jones is worried about because TN holds the tie breaker (beating Florida) if they have the same winning percentage.

For Bama, if LSU wins out (beating Bama) and Bama wins out except LSU, and LSU never plays Florida, then Bama would have a higher winning percentage and go to the SECCG.  That's why LSU was suggesting alternate venues for the Florida game; they wanted to play that game (but understood the hurricane issue).

The game will be played. There's too much money on the line for everyone involved to not play the game. The question is whether it will be during the regular season or after. I don't think the SEC can let a scenario where the Eastern division is decided with Tennessee and Florida playing a different number of games happen, so I imagine a deal will be worked out with the FCS teams scheduled Nov. 19, either cancelled or pushed back two weeks.

OK thanks guys I think I got a somewhat handle on this now. Being a dumb old burned out veteran preacher i wasn't sure what in the world would happen. I just hope everybody is safe and they can play if they do, on even terms and settle all this. RTR!

Like I said, SEC Commissioner has to do something.

Here’s what we know: Saturday’s college football game between Louisiana State and Florida in Gainesville has been canceled because of Hurricane Matthew, and as of right now it’s not going to be made up.

“The game is not going to happen at this point,” LSU Athletic Director Joe Alleva said Friday morning in a radio interview.

Here’s what we don’t know: How it got to the point where two of the biggest programs in the country will watch their game — which could have implications on the Southeastern Conference championship race — simply disappear.

It's tough on the SEC commish when he actually has to DO something.

          I was thinking the same thing.

They could have tentatively resked this game to Sunday afternoon, then confirmed last night (Friday) that it was a definite go.  Weather in G'ville is gonna be great over the weekend.  Lodging for travelers would have been somewhat of a problem, and attendance would be down for the game.  But they could have played it!

I live 45-mins south of there.  Going up there tonight to watch Arky game with a group of Bama alums.  Weather not an issue.
