For the Florida Gators, another frustrating regular season of almosts comes to an end this Saturday against LSU. But there’s still something at stake today: Win, and the Gators can all but guarantee they will not end the year with a losing record and also secure a .500 mark in SEC play.
How much value improving to 16-15 and 9-9 in SEC action would really have is somewhat dubious, because Florida could — in theory — still end up with a losing record by tripping in the first game of the SEC Tournament and whatever postseason tournament it makes.
