3-2-1: Further discussing the postponement of Florida-LSU

Following this week's fiasco regarding the postponement of Florida-LSU due to Hurricane Matthew, Inside the Gators now reviews the past week with a 3-2-1 report. We provide three observations, present two questions and make one prediction as the Gators head into a matchup with Missouri next Saturday.

Three things we learned this week:

1. 20-20 hindsight was prevalent in the criticism of the Florida-LSU game's postponement.

A lot has been said in the past week about how both schools and the SEC handled the situation - and the conspiracy theorists out there accused retiring Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley of "slow-playing" the discussions and the Gators of not wanting to face the Tigers. That's just... ridiculous. Even if the weather in Gainesville was pretty Saturday - and other schools in the southeast like Miami and South Carolina ended up playing their home games this weekend - there was no way Florida and LSU could have played that game in Gainesville considering the circumstances involved.

SEC commissioner Greg Sankey explained it best Saturday during his call-in on CBS during the Tennessee-Texas A&M game.
