🏈 Hurricane Matthew: LSU/UF decision (UPDATED to be played 11/19 @ LSU)

I don't agree with pushing the SECCG game a week out, due to it having some kind of impact on the CFP Playoff game.

Agree! Why does the rest of the conference need to adjust for LSU/UF stupidity?

 

[planomateo]

Based on what I've read, this is on Sankey.

Why would you consider negatively impacting your chances in the NC game.

As far as moving the SECCG back a week, if the CC would give a consideration to Navy to accommodate their potential run, why not?
But then again, if Bama is the winner in the West, it gives them an extra week to prepare. Would any potential East opponent like that?

Roll Tide!

I want to say that Alabama and auburn scheduled a bye week before the SECCG a time or two, to get 2 weeks to prepare, but it was stopped. Maybe someone can remember if that happened?

I know at the beginning it was a two week after the last regular game was played. I think it was changed when it was move to Atlanta.

The SEC began requiring teams to play the week before the SECCG. Bama and aubrun initially agreed to move their bye from before their game to after it, folks complained it was an advantage, and the conference cut it out.

So we should refuse to play aTm unless they play a game this week?

So LSU gets another SEC home game in the tradeoff this season. I believe this is now Florida's 3rd trip in a row to BR.

But Florida picks up the home game next year and plays at home versus LSU again in 2018.

It seems like LSU's AD is all in on this season and Ed Orgeron. He getting every opportunity to succeed now.

And next year they get alot of SEC away games.

South Alabama, Presbyterian respond to Florida-LSU announcement
South Alabama, Presbyterian respond to Florida-LSU announcement
The news of the LSU-Florida game being moved to Nov. 19 means that two games – LSU vs. South Alabama and UF vs. Presbyterian – have officially been canceled.

Both schools commented on the news Thursday.

“Obviously we are extremely disappointed to not have the opportunity to play in Baton Rouge on Nov. 19,” South Alabama athletic director Dr. Joel Erdmann said in a press release. “This disappointment runs throughout our program, including our student-athletes, coaches, the University of South Alabama and all Jaguar fans. We realize this is a very complicated and unique situation. The University of South Alabama — with the assistance of the Sun Belt Conference — did everything reasonable within our power to make the game a reality, including offering to move our Homecoming game to a later date.”

Presbyterian athletic director Brian Reese issued a brief statement.

“We are currently exploring options to play a football game on Nov. 19,” Reese said.

I thought this was UF home game, is something happening on the UF field that day Nov. 19th?

LSU has been adamant about keeping 11/19 as a home game. UF, in order to play the game, conceded home field for the game. In return, the UF-LSU game will be played at UF in 2017 and 2018.

Thanks ! I can see why LSU want it a home game paying S.Alabama 1.5 mils in a buy out. Where UF is paying Prov. 500,000 in a buy out.

Looks like they're all making the best of the situation.
