Can't they just say the winner of SECCG in one of them?

This would only affect 3-4 teams tops
It affects every team playing in a bowl game.

How?

The New Orleans bowl will be greatly altered by this game?

It affects maybe 2-3 bowls tops

Best solution, SEC force UF to play Monday or fricking forfeit the game

It affects a ton. Say we push it back and whatever team from the west has a shot at making the playoff loses. One team shifts up into the playoffs and then it shifts everyone behind them in their conference up. Unless you hammer out a ton of agreements ahead of time, it's very hard to pull this off with minimal changes.

If we don't make it to the SECCG, maybe we will be paired with Florida in a bowl game. (j/k)

due to the incompetence of Florida?


There is no incompetence of Florida. They played this beautifully to suit their needs.

The incompetence is on the part of the SEC.

Exactly. Florida was dealing with a ton of injured starters this week and LSU had momentum from new coach and dominating win last week. Now Florida can potentially win out and finish 6-1 in SEC and Tennessee has to play both Bama and A&M and could be 6-2 and UF winning the East that way. While it screws LSU because if we win out and finish 6-1, then we could miss out on winning the West over a 7-1 A&M or Bama team even if we beat them.

The only fix is if the teams cancel their Presbyterian/S. Alabama games and face off on Nov. 9.
the city of Baton Rouge cannot take a 5-8 million dollar loss..

There are no early bowl games that would be impacted.

You are wrong. In some years, some conferences have 4 and 5 way ties for the top 2 teams, which is resolved by their Conference championship game.

The top team will go to the playoffs and the second team is obligated to a prearranged bowl. Then whomever is left over will go to the early and mid December bowls.

simpler fix

If the game cant be played at the scheduled venue, the hosting school must locate a new venue OR forfeit the game.
