Florida can't clinch SEC East against Georgia, thanks to Vanderbilt

Last Monday, I wrote at length about the SEC East, and specifically Florida's chances of winning it. That post contained the assertion that Florida could clinch the division title for the first time since 2009 with a win over Georgia if Kentucky and Tennessee lost their next games.

That was wrong. On Saturday, Kentucky and Tennessee lost those games, but Florida still can't clinch against the Bulldogs — thanks to Vanderbilt, of all teams.

Such is the screwy nature of the Commodores' back-loaded schedule, which still has four SEC games left, and Vandy's privilege of being one of two teams (Georgia's the other) that can still beat Florida and finish with no more than three SEC losses.
