LSU v Florida (1 Viewer)

LSU AD Joe Alleva refuses to rechedule Florida game for Nov. 19 | SI.com

This actually makes the most sense since rescheduling seems to be impossible:

Alleva suggested that if the Tigers, Gators and SEC can’t come to an agreement about a makeup, perhaps the league should consider only division records to decide a division champion. This would solve the potential problem of a 6–1 Florida sneaking past a 6–2 Tennessee team that beat the Gators or a 7–1 Alabama team going to Atlanta instead of a 6-1 LSU that beat the Crimson Tide. (Former Florida and South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier actually suggested in 2012 that the SEC do this every season to account for major differences in strength of schedule depending on cross-division opponents.)

It is a decent idea especially given that the likelihood of actually playing the game appears to be declining daily.
But the problem there is that you probably have to have unanimity to change he rule. no reason Bamer, Florida, or anyone else that might benefit from LSU or Florida not playing would vote for the change.
i mean its hard to believe, but there is good evidence to believe this whole problem was created by Florida to achieve a benefit from not playing, or at least not playing this past Saturday, Sunday, or Monday.
 
This whole situation makes Sankey and Florida look like some fools. They should have played the game sunday. Heck even the Florida Volleyball team flew into S. Carolina after the hurricane and played. I still believe that Florida slowed played it due to injuries that would hurt their chances of getting to the SEC championship game. I guess this will go on for weeks now especially with UT playing Bama soon and possibly getting that second division loss.
