LSU shocks No. 6 Florida 37-34 thanks to inexplicable late-game penalty

Florida’s College Football Playoff hopes have gone up in smoke.

Or in this instance, maybe fog would be more appropriate.

On a gloomy evening in The Swamp, the No. 6 Gators were upset by an undermanned LSU team, 37-34. Though Florida had already clinched a spot in the SEC title game by winning the SEC East, Saturday night’s loss will almost certainly knock the Gators out of the CFP picture — even if they manage to upset top-ranked Alabama next week to win the SEC.

LSU’s defense has been carved up by SEC offenses on a weekly basis.
