Which one do you want ... regular season in Tiger Stadium or SECCG in Atlanta? Some will want that home night win, but there's no question in my mind ... I want the championship.

IMO, we will not beat Florida twice. So if we do happen to win the regular season game, I don't like our chances in the rematch. FWIW, I don't think Florida will beat us twice, either. So this question can be posed to Gator fans as well.

It'll never happen. the voters didn't want Michigan-Ohio state to play twice, much less LSU-Florida three times.

idk this is a tough call. I really want to say Tebow never won in Death Valley, but winning the SEC championship game this year especially being a team from the west, that means we have a good shot at another national title. Personally I think I want to be able to say Tebow never won in Death Valley.

I think that the only way that this had a slight chance was if the n.c. would be the sugar this year. yes, i said it. Just watch this year for usc.

2001...2003...2005...2007....___?___

I feel pretty confident we'll be in Atlanta this year.






ETA: And not in Atlanta for the chicken bowl.

Poor logic. If you keep the current system, it WILL happen eventually. There's a huge difference between giving the team that lost a chance at a rematch (e.g., UF vs. FSU in '96), versus arranging a third and final winner-takes-all contest. It usually works well for boxing.

If there are no undefeated teams, then I think the chances would be greater than 50% that an 12-1 UF and an 12-1 LSU would be in the BCS NCG. The only problem is, that scenario of having two 12-1 teams from the SEC, and no undefeated teams elsewhere, is very unlikely.

will be very happy if we play twice. To get to the ATL we probably have to win the "first" Fla game. In the ATL Fla will have a home field advantage since none of "youpeople" seem to go to the SECCG

This is odd. No exclamation points, hardly any capitalization for emphasis. I'm lost.

That's more than just random years and numbers. There's a reason that has happened.... Having Florida and Auburn at home in the odd years is huge, and the biggest reason odd years we've thrived this decade.

It remains to be seen if our schedule will "flip" with the emergence of Bama and Ole Miss and the likely fall of Auburn ... but nonetheless, having Auburn and Florida at home is favorable.
