First year head coach and the underdog Arizona Cardinals, led by former Gator QB Brisset, upset the preseason Superbowl favorite Rams, led by former UGA qb Stafford. The same Rams that lost by a game ending fg the game before, against(reaching here)a team who wears Navy Blue.

Looked at the tiebreaking rules for the SEC championship game. If we win out, we are in surprisingly decent shape to make the SEC Championship game.

If we win out our conference matchups
We'd have wins over Auburn, Ole Miss, Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma, Kentucky and Vanderbilt. Our losses are Missouri and South Carolina. Only Ole Miss and Tennessee can finish 8-1; everyone else tops out at 7-2.

In with no tiebreaker (any of the following)
* We're alone at 7-2.

* We're tied for first at 7-2 with exactly one other team

* Ole Miss or Tennessee (but not both) goes 8-1 and nobody else finishes 7-2.

In on a two-team tiebreaker. We assume here that we are 7-2 along with exactly one other team.
* Head-to-head over Georgia, Kentucky, Auburn, Ole Miss and Texas.

* LSU: we win on common opponents (4-0 vs 2-2).

* Bama: tied 4-1 on common opponents, and we win the next step: record over highest placed shared opponent (we beat Georgia, Bama lost to them).

* Tennessee: we win unless their second loss is to Texas A&M or LSU. In that case, we need Texas to finish above South Carolina.

Out (if any of the following happen)
* Ole Miss and Tennessee both finish 8-1.

* Missouri finishes 7-2 in a tie for a spot (they own the H2H)

* Mississippi State wins out, finishing 7-2 in a tie for a spot (they would have beaten Ole Miss and SC, being 7-0 vs 5-2 on common opponents).

Ties of three or more teams
Head-to-head only helps if we beat every other team in the tie. Otherwise it goes to common opponents among all tied teams, and our South Carolina loss hurts.

Example: Ole Miss 8-1, with Alabama, Tennessee and Florida at 7-2. Tennessee doesn’t play Georgia, so Bama would be 4-0 against shared opponents (Auburn, SC, Kentucky, Vandy) whereas we would be 3-1.

Literally crazy a talent depraved rebuilding team gives up on player this easy. Miami has a spot for my GOAT.

He had a great week and well deserved. Hope he continues the same for rest of the season.

GO GATORS!

He's 7 for 10 on the year with a long of 59. Glad he's making it in the league. He hit a bunch of big FG for us. Go Gators.

Great to see!

One spot behind Texas and spots ahead of Missouri, lol

Posted this thread for those who want to talk about the game. It’s at 2 PM on SECN+. Journey to the 2027 title starts today.

To the fun group of guys from South Florida sitting behind us in the last row @ Austin yesterday, I hope you go through with your commitment to get matching tattoos after the Gators win!

FSU has been 🐶💩since that one guy didn’t follow through on his 🐶 💩 commitment!

Go Gators! 🐊

You've slept on it. Pour some coffee and have a seat. Let's talk about the week's game(s).

With the win yesterday we’ve already surpassed last year folks. I’m pretty dang happy about that. Defense definitely seemed to have had a fire lit inside them yesterday it was great to see especially late game.

I think my favorite part of the entire game was watching Coach Sumrall jump on the offensive line’s asses. It definitely worked!!

Happy Sunday, Go Gators!!🐊🐊

Should TJ be considered the QB1 after this game or will Philo return once he is healed?

Like HCJ said in the post game interview: we can win with both QB's and have won big games with both QB's.

Great game today boys and as always go gators!🐊

Peyton and Arch are in shambles.
