The SEC may not have realized it at the time, but it did college football a favor when it made the Florida vs. LSU game an annual pairing. The two schools have met every year since 1971 and the Gators/Tigers matchup typically has a direct bearing on the SEC and national championships. This Saturday's game between a pair of undefeated teams currently ranked in the top 10 of the polls is no different.
Critics have argued that both schools have an unfair difficulty added to their schedule with this mandated meeting.
