Gators' surprising LSU win has them believing playoffs are possible

GAINESVILLE — The chances for an SEC East title seemed iffy after a 21-point loss two weeks ago at Arkansas.

The Florida Gators are thinking much, much bigger now.

A dramatic 16-10 win last Saturday at LSU has given the East champion Gators a chance to join the College Football Playoff semifinal conversation.

Of course, it would take some work to turn opportunity into reality.

The Gators (8-2, 6-2 SEC) first would have to win Saturday at Florida State — winners of four of the past five meetings between the two schools.
