Commish Sankey Had A Great Weekend! Sorry LSU Fans, But Get Ready...

I don't need to listen to the interview to understand that Sankey did what any good politician will do: He is protecting two of his special interests.
This conference is run by Bama, UF, and then Auburn. In that order. Everyone else can suck it. Not to mention Bama and UF are the top two grossing teams revenue wise.
With UT losing yesterday, this gives the SEC Commish the opportunity to have his two highest grossing teams in the SECCG again this season. That is what he wants. That is his job: create revenue. If screwing second tier teams like LSU and Tenn is part of that, so be it.
Sankey, for all intents and purposes had a great weekend. Bama is one step closer to a West title, and now UF literally is in the driver's seat for the East since UT will lose to Bama soon.
UF can get rested up for their run. Now you force one of Bama's rivals (LSU) into playing three straight road games. Kill two birds with one stone there too: Eliminate a rejuvenated LSU team and allow UF time to rest for the game. LSU WILL be worn out by the third road game.
Win win win win
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck....

How dare you assume the orientation of this species.
And yes, sadly, you are right. Which is why I want out of the SEC. It benefits 2 rather than all.

When uT has 2 losses they will demand LSU play Florida. Why would they do that if Bama and UF run the conference?

There is one silver lining: the kids (LSU) will be prepared as appropriately as possible by O with reduced pad time and rest. Les would have amped it up.

How can Sankey force LSU to break contract with South Alabama and lose out on home game revenue? I might be wrong, but I don't think Sankey or the SEC can legally do that. I know he's the big boss and all, but still.

Can you show us a picture of a driver's seat with some entity called Florida in it? If not, then Florida is not "literally" in the driver's seat. "Literally" means exactly the opposite of how you used it. The purpose of the word is to distinguish metaphors, like yours, from literal statements.
Now, to the content of your post. The SEC is not run by any of its schools. Bama and Florida have been the two most successful football teams in the last twenty years or so. Fans of other SEC teams who have inferiority complexes (i.e. most of us, and henceforth refered to as "losers") attribute every lucky break they get to be by the design of some overarching force which is opposed to the loser.

It's a good theory. Except if the goal is to get Bama and UF in why play the game?
UT loses to Bama, UF wins out they are in.
If forced to play LSU and lose then UT has the tie breaker with UF

Not valid OP. UGA has way more stroke than anyone but bama

I wouldn't exactly call LSU and Tennessee "second tier teams."

All this talk about UF running the table in the SEC is dubious.
They are not a good football team, and still have:
Mizzou at home-W
Georgia in Jville-???
Arkansas in Fville-???
SC at home-W
The games against the Dawgs and Hogs are toss-ups at best, and they should not win them both.

Too much conspiracy theory for me, thanks.

Anyone who really believes that is an idiot and hasn't been watching the same interviews on national TV I have.

OP is a conspiracy nut. Visit him in the poli board some time.

Yeah, he had a great weekend... except for that one interview where Sankey looked like a lost pussy groping for a friend, who ran away.
I wonder if Foley considered: LSU is running with a different QB than the one that started the year, new DC, new OC, banged up OL, and 2 freshmen LBs playing significant time. If Foley and the extra from Angry Beavers thought they were the only one's that could use a little regrouping time or that LSU wouldn't use the time wisely they didn't quite think all this through.
ETA: oh, and a new Head Coach and new overall generalized offensive system. Forgot about those two.
