Florida's Path

For starters, the Gators have a very friendly TV schedule for fans. Their opening game is at 7 PM on Friday, which will start on time since they won't have to wait for a game before them.

Should they win they would play at 3:30 on Saturday and then the championship game is at 1 PM on Sunday.

Florida will face either LSU, Mississippi State, or Missouri in their opening game. Missouri did beat Florida earlier this season when the Tigers parlayed ten minutes in the first half where they literally couldn't miss into a win.

If chalk holds, Florida will face Alabama in the semi-finals, though if there are upsets, they could see Oklahoma, Georgia, or Kentucky.

The championship game would most likely feature either Auburn or Tennessee, though Texas A&M and Ole Miss would be the most likely to barnstorm their way into the finals.
