I think the question of how the SEC schedule would play out is almost total conjecture at this point. Does the fact that FSU would become shared revenue enter into the picture? You probably don't replace a FSU on the schedule revenue wise with a patsie. I still say that UF will if possible veto FSU/UM.

That frees up a non-conference slot. If recent history is a guide, we would fill it with a pay someone to play at our home game rather than a home-and-away. That will add about 1 Million a year to our gate revenue, cash that we would not have to share with any other school. Now, UM might be another story, but adding FSU would seem to make UF money. As an aside, if the SEC were 14 teams, do we play everyone in our division and our 1 out of division rival (LSU) plus a floating game? Everyone in our division and go back to two out of three of our traditional non-division rivals (Auburn, Miss. State and LSU)? Everyone in our division and two floating games? Personally, I'd love to have two locked-in traditional non-divisional rivals and zero floating games. Given that we have an SEC championship game, it is not as if fans are denied the chance to see the top teams from each division play each other. Which 2 would you pick? -Zeb On Jun 8, 2010, at 2:41 PM, Charlie wrote: I believe UF would block both Miami and FSU just as I believe UGA would block GT and USC would block Clemson.
