re: Interesting take from the OBC on the LSU/Florida mess

With all the crazy drama being stirred up by the SEC Network, regarding the "importance" of playing the Florida game, I finally got fed up and decided to look at the realistic relevance of the postponed game (in terms of its effect on determining the division winners).
Since Tennessee leads the East, and owns the tie-breakers over both Florida and Georgia, I looked at their remaining schedule in comparison to Florida's remaining schedule:
Date/ Tenn (5-1) Plays:/ Florida (4-1) Plays:
Oct 15/ Alabama/ Missouri
Oct 22/ OFF/ OFF
Oct 29/ S. Carolina/ Georgia
Nov 05/ Tenn. Tech/ Arkansas
Nov 12/ Kentucky/ S. Carolina
Nov 19/ Missouri/ Presbyterian
Nov 26/ Vanderbilt/. Florida State
The way I see it, Tennessee wins all their games (after the Alabama game) and finishes 10-2. (Missouri and S. Carolina are their toughest opponents after this weekend).
Florida has to win ALL their remaining games, and I don't see that happening. Realistically, they could be out of contention by the end of October. After this weekend, it's unlikely they beat Georgia, or Florida State. Their games with Missouri, Arkansas, and S. Carolina are not sure wins, either, and that's being kind!
For LSU, not playing the Florida game means that we would have to win all our remaining games, AND Alabama, Auburn, and Texas A&M have to lose an additional game.
Auburn? Not worried about them losing another game - gonna happen lol...but the other two?
Alabama's toughest remaining games (besides LSU):
Tennessee, and Texas A&M
Texas A&M's toughest remaining games (besides LSU):
Alabama, and Ole Miss
So yeah, in conclusion, it's a mighty stretch to get LSU to the Championship this year. I took the time to put this together for all the uninitiated out there. My advice? Adjust your metrics and just enjoy the fact that our Tigers are playing like Tigers again!
It's a transition year, but the future looks very bright from my perspective. Sounds like Yaw Yaw made a splash last Friday making the rounds.
Peace, ya'll.

What does the FSU have to do with anything?
