How Florida – yes, Florida – can win the SEC championship

Florida’s 38-20 win over then-No. 9 Georgia didn’t just turn the SEC East standings on its head, it allowed Will Muschamp‘s Gators a chance to sneak in and win the division, and in that a chance to win the entire conference.

Florida is 3-3 in the conference, two full games back of division leader Missouri, and the Tigers hold the tiebreaker. So how in the world can Florida possibly win the East?

Florida is 3-3 in the conference with a trip to Vanderbilt this week and a home date against South Carolina. If the Gators run the ball anything like they did against Georgia, they’ll most likely take both of those games and finish 5-3 in SEC play. Next, Georgia. The Bulldogs will also finish 5-3 in the conference with a win over Kentucky and a loss to No. 3 Auburn. Entirely probable, and even likely. Finally, Missouri would have to lose at Tennessee on Nov. 22, and then either lose at Texas A&M on Nov. 15 or at home versus Arkansas in their Nov. 28 finale.

Missouri dropping those two games are admittedly the biggest stretch of this scenario, but then again how much of a stretch is it to see a team ranked 13th in the SEC in total offense, 14th in passing and 12th in scoring lose to a constantly improving Tennessee team, on the road in College Station, or to an Arkansas team that’s due to break through any time now?

If all teams finish 5-3 in the conference – with Missouri losing to Tennessee, this is crucial – the Gators would win the tiebreaker with a 5-1 record inside the East division. Missouri would lose the tiebreaker due to division losses against Georgia and Tennessee, and Georgia would lose thanks to losses to South Carolina and Florida.

And then suddenly Florida would be 7-4 (assuming a loss at Florida State) and 60 minutes away from an SEC championship.

...Don't know why, but I find this appropriate.

You should play Mega Millions......:lol:


Mega Millions jackpot climbs to $324 million for Tuesday's drawing

A lot of treats were given away Halloween night, but the $284 million Mega Millions jackpot was not one of them.

That mean's Tuesday night's prize has soared to $324 million. The drawing takes place at 10 p.m. CST.

The lottery added $40 million to its jackpot Friday night after no one matched the winning numbers of 11, 29, 36, 58, 67, with a Mega Ball of 15. The jackpot has been growing since Aug. 22, when a $180 million prize was claimed in California.

If someone were to win Tuesday's drawing and select a cash payout, it would be worth $194 million.

Despite ‘apology,’ Gator DT Leon Orr still booted

A rather bizarre story unfolded Saturday, with Florida defensive lineman Leon Orr opting to make the trek back to Gainesville from Nashville on game day instead of coming off the bench as had been the norm.

The fact that Orr chose to abandon his team was stunning. The fact that his head coach reacted the way he did wasn’t.

Following UF’s win over Vanderbilt, head coach Will Muschamp made it perfectly clear that the defensive lineman no longer had a spot on his team.

“Leon hasn’t started since the Alabama game,” Muschamp said of the Sept. 20 loss to the Tide. “He hasn’t started all week in practice, and he came to me [Saturday] and didn’t understand why he wasn’t starting. He said he was going to go home, and that was his decision. I said, ‘If you go home, you’re done. You’re not a Florida Gator anymore.'”

You've got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em

The same is true in football; basically Muschamp called his bluff and he lost.

Start the clock. Muschamp turned in an all-timer of an ugly loss, impossibly blowing a game the Gators were going to win, and Miss St lost so it's open season for ADs to start dropping feelers for Mullen.

Florida fires Muschamp: Rich Rod, Malzahn, Stoops among Gators' next options

Expect Arizona's Rich Rodriguez, Ole Miss' Hugh Freeze and Auburn's Gus Malzahn to get consideration. Another long-shot could be former NFL coach Mike Shanahan, a former Gator OC, who has been intrigued by the job, but his age at 62 would make him seem like less of an option.

Two wildcards to keep in mind for the Florida vacancy, both with Gator roots: Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops, who may be ready for a move from Norman after a decade-plus there, and Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, who is having a terrific season and is a sharp offensive mind.

Next at Florida? Maybe RichRod, McElwain, Mullen, Gundy or Stoops?

What's these guys smoking? Do you really think Florida would consider DickRod?
