Chalk this up to the weird voodoo LSU has on UF these days. Since Tebow (the last round of truly elite Gator teams, Meyer was still there for 2010 but it was effectively the beginning of the post-Meyer era), LSU has gone 9-3 against Florida. LSU has been the better program, but not 9-3 better. A number of those games have been extremely close, and almost all went LSU's way. It's a fluky thing.
Good news for Gators though, LSU has never beaten UF 4x in a row, so Florida is certain to win next year. Even when it seemed imminent for LSU to pull 4 off in 2016 the universe conspired to make the Tigers lose in the dumbest ways possible.
Damn gators better not have cost us our shot to get rid of O. Way too much goodwill around this program today. I suspect that will evaporate quickly with another string of L's.
