“I don’t think they will because they still have Texas A&M to deal with,” he said on Get Up this morning. “And why is that important? Texas A&M beat Florida head to head…Florida has an issue with A&M. The difference would be, they would have a conference championship and beat the No. 1 team in the country, the same team that beat Texas A&M by 28 points. But it’s pretty obvious, this committee follows the rule of the eye test. They like what they see with Florida. They don’t pay much attention to metrics, despite what the committee chair tells us every Tuesday night.”
