Georgia vs Florida Who Do We Pull For

[Sawnee Cat]

Which win would best suit our interest?

I have been thinking about this from all angles and I am still undecided. Can anybody give me a hand and show me the light? I guess when it is all said and done, we have our destiny in our hands and just win baby.

 

[RonEJones]

Is it possible for both to lose? If not, we need UF to win. I feel UF is going to drop a few more regardless of the UGA game.

 

[Rhavicc]

Georgia. That's easy.

We have to beat UGA either way to get into the SECCG.

If Florida wins, and we lose to Georgia, Florida goes to the SECCG. Kentucky needs to win out.

This is how I am leaning.

 

[SophiesDad]

I just can’t wait till we beat them Dawgs baby! GO CATS!

 

[Bkocats]

I want UGA to win against UF
Then we beat UGA

Sounds good right?

 

[kev69]

Probably not going to matter.

Florida doesn’t have any losable SEC games after Georgia. So if Florida wins, they’ll almost definitely finish with just 1 SEC loss.
That means we have to win our 4 remaining SEC games to win the East.(Head to Head tiebreaker goes to us)

If Georgia wins, then we would still have to beat them to have a realistic chance to win the East.

There’s really just one legitimate way to get to Atlanta, and that’s to go 4-0 in the remaining SEC games.

Probably no chance in any other scenario.

 

[docholiday51]

Both have only 3 SEC games left,UF has the UGA game and 2 home games. UGA comes to Lexington and has a bad Auburn team at home.

UF plays SC and Missouri( two teams that could give them a run for their money but probably wont.

A UF win almost hands them the East so UGA needs to get their stuff together.

UF did their best to lose yesterday but Vandy wouldn't allow it.

If we are as good as we hope we are just get to the UGA game with one loss and roll the dice.

 

[Rockford]

Just win baby

 

[irishcat1965]

I can’t decide. I really want Georgia to be highly ranked when they come to Lexington. They need to beat Florida to do that. But I also don’t see Florida losing another game if they beat Georgia. If I knew UK could run the table, I would say I want Georgia to win. But that’s a dicey proposition at best. Plus if Georgia loses, that means they come into Lexington with two straight losses. I don’t see them losing three straight games.

 

[Oldtrainer]

Gators have improved weekly on both l.o.s., toughness, team speed! As for me I'll be pulling for Them Dawgs Glory, Glory to Ole Georgia!
Be interesting to see how Bulldogs handle adversity. Up to now most everyone been telling them how good they were. One of my old teammates and former college coach from Louisiana told me first of week UGA got a commitment from the top rated running back in the bayou state!
I'm not surprised at their loss in Death Valley. Many a favorite team have suffered defeat there!

I would rather have them coming in off a win I think,but if they lose their title hopes are all but gone and they might be flat.

UF won yesterday but didn't look all that good doing it

I hope UF and UGA beat the tar out of each other in a 6 overtime game

We likely need a uga win.

Almost any scenario of us winning east will need us to beat uga head to head.

If uga beats Florida, it would allow us to lose one game against (Missou, vandy, or tenn) and still win the east if we beat uga.

If uf wins, and wins out, then we will need to win out to win the east.

However if uf beat uga and we lost to uga, but won all other games, we could tie for east still if uf lost a game to (Missou or usc, both home games for them). These are not likely losses for them.

Since uga beating them would allow us more room for error, we should pull for uga as of now ( I believe).

 

[vhcat70]

Don't see where it's much material to UK. We win out & we're champs. Lose to Uga & we're very likely the champs.

 

[RV2]

There's no other option - no equivocation - no alternative - no other choice.

Cat fans must root for a Georgia win over Florida.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

In my opinion its better for UF to win to keep Georgia reeling.
We have the tie breaker over UF. A loss by the Dawgs gives them 2 in the SEC, thus based on having the tie breaker over the Dawgs, the Gators would need to lose 2 more SEC games for UGA to have a shot and looking at UFs schedule that simply will not happen.

A win over the Gators would likely rejuvanate the young Dawgs, where as a loss would keep their proverbial tails between their legs heading to the Bluegrass.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Honestly none of this matters unless we beat Vanderbilt and Missouri. We play Missouri at 11 a.m. so we will know if this Matters by the time Florida and Georgia kick off later that day.

Good points #8.

 

[docholiday51]

We need to win our way to the UGA game,how is it that every game of the Stoops era is so damn important and seems to take on a life of it's own.

Coming off a bye week we have to take care of Vandy or all this UGA/UF stuff doesn't matter,then we have to go to Missouri and play our "A" game there. Have we made enough progress with our mindset that we can do what we need to do? There is enough reason to believe we have but until we actually do it we just don't know.

 

[irishcat1965]

I looked it up. Georgia has lost 3 games in a row once in the past 25 plus years. We need to pull for Georgia.

This isnt a normal year, this isnt a normal UK team and the game is in Lexington.

I respect your research but trust me we dont want UGA having a realistic shot at the East coming in.

How do you know the Missouri game is at 11?

I haven’t seen that announced yet? Just curious.

Someone said ESPN posted it during game. Sec has not made it official and won’t make it to Monday. Looking at schedule for the week I honk it’s a 730 eastern sec network game

Unless ESPN puts us on at noon for some odd reason. Not a game a lot of national eyes will be on, but if slate that morning is bad could get casual viewer on major network where this game gets lost in shuffle of on prime time outside the two states. (And neither of these are football viewer hotbeds)

Florida has a cake schedule remaining. We want UGA to win.

 

[ukalum1988]

Then we beat UGA

Sounds good right?

Absolutely. This would be the best case scenario. If this were to happen we could hypothetically lose another game, and all three of would be tied at 6-2, but we would hold the head to head tiebreaker.

At this point, we just need to win out, and taking these games one a time I believe we can do that.

 

[Smashcat]

Kentucky needs to win out.

Best plan.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

If we can win out, it does not matter who wins. Because we have beaten UF, I would cheer for UF. My hope is that UF was the toughest team on our schedule and our fumble was at A&M. If that is true and UGA loses to UF, I will feel good. But, we need to beat Vandy. If we overlook Vandy, we lose the SECE.

 

[Deeeefense]

I like our position because there are 3 teams left that can win the East and we have already beaten one of the other two, and the other two have yet to play against each other. We control our own destiny regardless of what the other two do. If we beat Georgia it would be really hard to see how we don't win the East but yea I can see why people are wanting Florida to lose, because if they win out and we lose one more, even if we beat UGA, then Florida gets the ticket and we stay home.

 

[bluecoon1]

I’d like a UGA win, UF has a relatively easy conference schedule after that game. UGA could lose another’s game, we could lose another game, and still play them for the east title. It just gives us a little margin for error.

You have it right.

UF-UGA will play at TIAA Bank Field, technically a neutral site but will be pro-UF. UGA is coming off a painful loss at Baton Rouge. UGA will be mad. UF barely beat Vandy in Nashville. This isn’t the best time to play UGA. Unless UGA has locker room issues, this game shapes up as a bounce back week by the Bulldogs. That is why UGA is about a 12 point favorite so far.

 

[BigOcatfan]

Good points #8.

This is absolutely incorrect. If UGA beats Florida we can lose a game if WE beat UGA.

 

[UKWildcats#8]

This is absolutely incorrect. If UGA beats Florida we can lose a game if WE beat UGA.

Yeah but any intelligent Kentucky fan would feel a lot better about our chances if we were six and one going into the Tennessee game on the road. They would love nothing more than for us to lose the Missouri and then beat Georgia and then come there and have them ruin our season

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

Even beyond sec championship...we want to be ahead of florida in the bowl pecking order...

I hate the dawgs..but oh well

I agree but Gators were in a "sandwich" game this week playing Vandy in between LSU and Georgia. So while I think you're right in that UGA will be in a bounce back mode, I would think Florida will also.

I wish we always didn’t feel like we had to back door our way into things. But our fans are battered over the years so I can’t blame them. Instead of worrying about crazy scenarios where teams lose so we can back door our way in, let’s just go take care of business. We’ve got a manageable second half of the schedule and a really talented and experienced team. This isn’t a year where we have to try and sneak in the back door crossing our fingers hoping that other teams lose so we can sneak in. Gotta’ lose that battered fan syndrome.

 

[UKUGA]

Wouldn’t it be cool to go 6-0 against the East?

 

[billoliver40]

Georgia over Florida is the best case.

But as RV said in another post I read:
Beat Vandy
Beat Missouri
Beat Georgia
Beat UT.
Go to Atlanta.
4 game season. Win those and everyone else can go pound sand.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Florida no doubt. Georgia fans are ***** since they had became relevant again.

I lost my BFS seconds after Allen’s strip sack sealed Florida’s fate in the Swamp!
