Well, now we know how MUCH a late-4th qtr fumble can cost you...
Personally, of course, after the involuntary “covid-break” followed by Gator DOMINANCE, I feel like we should have slipped BY A&M in the first CFB Playoff rankings—to be ranked 5th (rather than 6th) in the rankings—mainly because this could well end up our “high water mark” this season: Even if we WIN OUT rest of our regular schedule, we probably WON’T jump A&M now unless THEY were to lose, even though UF arguably faces the tougher last few games.
But all that is just shallow window dressing, really, ANYWAY:
I know that the REAL QUESTIONS will be posed and answered in the SEC Championship Game. Long as we DO WIN OUT, “fifth or sixth” NOW hardly matters...It inevitably comes down to BEATING BAMA!
Win out, INCLUDING that SEC Championship game, and we WILL be included in the FFF. The only question to come out of THAT will be whether Bama would STILL get in, giving the SEC TWO teams in—and A&M STILL on the outside looking in...
Barring MULTIPLE shocking upsets among the current top four, I don’t see ANY way they get any higher.
We TOO are in a tough position, having to keep winning just to face (and still needing to BEAT) Alabama—but I’d rather be US, have THAT “mountain to climb”, than TAMU, who realistically is already just playing for “also ran”!
