Bad case scenario is Florida wins, then Cats can't reign in Georgia.....would put Cats in third slot.

I agree with this 100%,50+ years of what we have lived with as UK fans is hard to overcome.Even in 1977 we didn't begin to understand how good we were until the LSU and UGA games late in the year. I don't think this team is that good but they might be in the ballpark,we just can't tell.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.
I think the Gators will have their hands full with the Dawgs. They will come after Franks pretty hard.Smart and his guys got punched in the mouth hard yesterday I think they will respond well ,much to the dismay of UF.Talked to a lot of gator fans since yesterday. Everyone of them are confident of beating Georgia in Jacksonville. They say, we got this. Some are actually making plans for Atlanta.
Typical Gators. So I say go Dawgs.
Let's hope so for two reasons. 1) Shut up my neighbors 2) We need another loss for UF.I think the Gators will have their hands full with the Dawgs.

Georgia. We’ve already beaten Florida. That feels good to say. If they win, and we win these next 3 we win the SEC East even if we lose in Knoxville. Yea I know that’s a lot of “if’s”.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.
Personally, because of their fans' attitude toward us, I routinely am happy for Florida to lose. The only possible exception would be if they played Lil Brother, and that would be a very close call.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.
And this is why I hope they never expand the playoffs pass 6 teams.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.
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.
Absolutely!!! Just win baby win and we don't need any help, although wouldn't mind seeing both getting beat againWhich win would best suit our interest?

Is it reasonable to say that currently no one in the East(other than us) is as good as the SEC Network media thought they would be? Notwithstanding that the East may be better than the West(other than Alabama)
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.
More scared of Mizzou game than Ga...Will we need to score a ton of points to beat them, and if so can we?I agree with this 100%,50+ years of what we have lived with as UK fans is hard to overcome.Even in 1977 we didn't begin to understand how good we were until the LSU and UGA games late in the year. I don't think this team is that good but they might be in the ballpark,we just can't tell.
I honestly believe the next two will tell us who we are,I don't expect to beat Vandy by 4 TD's but I believe if we are as good as it appears we will be in control come the 4th quarter and the game won't be in doubt for the last 8 minutes or so.
Moving on to Missouri,can we go on the road and win a game that has the implication that one will have after a win over Vandy.
We have been here (sort of) before with Stoops but never this late in the season with as many things working in our favor. There is good reason to believe we can get the job done,but as old time fans we have to see it done before we allow ourselves to fully embrace it.
I hope the team knows and believes that this year is different than it has been since they arrived.They are the ones who know for sure
As much as it sucks having beaten Fla, they probably have the easiest schedule closing out...all three sec games left are played in the state of Fla and they have gone 3-0 on the road kinda negating our win there. Georgia's is probably the next easiest with us third. MUST beat Vandy , UT and Mizzou to have a shot.
maybe it won't be the shootout you expect slugger, our coaches know what Lock can do with the ball in his hands and no pressure. Shorten the game, give him limited touches and turn 41 loose on Lock.More scared of Mizzou game than Ga...Will we need to score a ton of points to beat them, and if so can we?
I think there is a missing element to our offense,I'm not saying it isn't there but that it hasn't emerged yet.I will borrow a line from the great soothsayer Bruce Pearl "we have other weapons". We have enough playmakers to put plenty of points on the board,we just haven't put together all the pieces yet.It seems we are forever waiting for THE game(maybe UF was and we just don't know it. Missouri does worry me as well mainly because you don't know what you will get from them.More scared of Mizzou game than Ga...Will we need to score a ton of points to beat them, and if so can we?
I think UF could slip up along the way,the home games help but they had too much trouble with Vandy for me to think that Missouri or South Carolina have no shot.As much as it sucks having beaten Fla, they probably have the easiest schedule closing out...all three sec games left are played in the state of Fla and they have gone 3-0 on the road kinda negating our win there. Georgia's is probably the next easiest with us third. MUST beat Vandy , UT and Mizzou to have a shot.
Respectively disagree. Never had an issue with Georgia fans. Good people. Florida fans have been the most obnoxious fans I've met and that was in Commonwealth not the swamp. Go DAWGS! Beat the gators badly!Florida no doubt. Georgia fans are ***** since they had became relevant again.

Like I said in another thread, I am unequivocally rooting for UGA in every single game this season except against UK.
We do the back-door-to-Atlanta math every stinking year as UK fans and it never turns out that way. Not this year! We beat UGA and we are in Atlanta, even with another random loss to Missouri or UT.
If UGA beats us, they would have to lose to Florida AND Auburn, plus Florida would have to have another loss to get UK to Atlanta. Not happening.

Which win would best suit our interest?

Florida. We beat them so we win out in a tie, plus I think they also have a better chance of dropping another one than UGA.
Vandy changed after that #5 (Vaughn) got hurt. Fla couldn't stop him.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.
here's the other question...what happens if us, UF, and UGA all have 2 losses with all three losing to one of the others and beating one?? could happen. Anyone know the tie breaker??
UF bests UGA(UGA 6-2, L to UF)
UGA beats us(UK 6-2, L to UGA)
UF loses to Mizz or USC(UF 6-2, L to UK)
I think the first tiebreaker is East record?
That would disqualify Florida for losing two East games verses UK and another. I assume the head to head would come into play at that point and it would be UGA...
All that said.....just win baby!!

I think they can both beat UF.South Carolina and Missouri both come to the Swamp not sure either one can beat the Gators.
I think they can both beat UF.
