UF should get the nod over Bammer with the Auburn loss. It was great seeing Saban lose his shyt yesterday. Thinking the Orange as well is LSUck takes care of their bizness.

Logic seldom comes into play. Alabama and Saban always get the benefit of the doubt and will be picked for the Sugar Bowl over Florida, IMO. I think the CFP will drop Bama from #5 to 8 or 9. Minnestoa will drop behind us and we'll be ranked #10, behind Bama & Penn. State as the highest ranked 2 loss teams. I expect UF to go to the Cotton Bowl to play the highest ranked non-P5 team - Memphis or Boise St.

You are forgetting about GA unless they upset LSU. I would think they would be a lock for the Sugar Bowl with a loss. Penn St going to the Rose won't affect where we go.

You are right about Georgia probably going to the Sugar if they lose to LSU, which would put Bama in the Orange, leaving us in the Cotton. If LSU beat GA bad;ly I could see the Bulldogs dropping below Bama, but wither way Georgia and Alabama will get the Sugar and Orange Bowl bids unless Georgia upsets LSU and both of them make the playoffs. In that case, Bama would get the Sugar and we would get the Orange, more than likely. The only point I was making about Penn St. is that they are still going to be ranked ahead of Florida, IMO. I don;t care where they go because it has nothing to do with UF, unless we somehow get bumped down to the Citrus where we would p;lay a Big 10 team.

Prepare yourself now for us not being in the NY6.

But I heard that every NY6 game was going to have an SEC team, maybe two.

:doh:

Kind of ironic if you're right. Last year we had losses to Kentucky and Mizzou - not exactly "quality losses" and at home mind you - and we were in the NY6. This year our losses were away from the Swamp to two teams currently ranked in the top four.
The possibility of losing out on a quality bowl to Bama is pretty galling this season when you consider their best win was against Tinerc in a close game.

The new Coaches poll hat just came out has UF #7, Bammer #9. And from what I read about the Orange Bowl is that they have to take the highest ranked ACC team vs. the highest ranked team that is left from the Big 10/SEC/Notre Dame. And that's based on the CFP rankings. Also, with this being a year the Rose Bowl is not hosting a national semi-final, they get the highest ranked teams left from the Big 10 & Pac 12 before the Orange Bowl picks.

The AP poll just came out and is identical to the Coaches Poll. LSU, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia, Utah, Oklahoma, Florida, Baylor, Alabama, Wisconsin.

Bama's best win this year is Texas A&M. They have zero wins against anyone ranked in the top 25. At least we beat Auburn. I don't think the committee will rank us ahead of them because of tHe EyE tEsT ( :jerkit: ), but we'll see.

Which one of these is not like the other?
Utah is a poser. Prolly Baylor too.

im not getting my panties in a wad over the outback.... i still feel like we see more chaos next weekend and get a ny6. hopefully a local orangebowl bid
Yep. Still more FB to be played. NY6 would be great. I feel no matter where we wind up going for 11 wins, winning the state, and good bowl will do UF well.

The Orange Bowl could help us in recruiting in south Florida, is more prestigious than the Cotton Bowl and playing Virginia would be an easier win than playing Memphis in the Cotton Bowl, IMO.
