BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU athletic director Joe Alleva has doubts about whether Saturdays LSU-Florida game -- scheduled to be contested in Gainesville but postponed indefinitely on Thursday as Hurricane Matthew approached the Florida coast -- will ever be played.Its going to be very difficult, Alleva said Friday morning on the?Culotta & The Fan show on ESPN 104.5 FM?in Baton Rouge. Thats all Im going to say about it right now, but the scenarios that I see down the road would require some serious changing of schedules.If the game is not played, LSU and Florida will finish the season with one less SEC game than the conferences other teams. The SECs divisional tiebreakers are based on winning percentage in conference games, which could generate controversy within the league should LSU or Florida remain in the hunt for a division title in November.I think its going to have to be a topic of discussion, for sure, as we go through the rest of the season. No doubt, Alleva said. Its based on winning percentage and then head-to-head competition, so yeah, I think that winning percentage is something thats going to have to be discussed.Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said it will skew the SEC divisional races if the LSU-Florida game isnt rescheduled.They have to find a way to play that game, Sumlin told ESPNs Chris Low on Friday. I dont see any way around it if they want to keep it fair for all teams.Tennessee coach Butch Jones expressed similar sentiments.They have to play that football game, he said Thursday. I know the SEC will do the right thing.Asked whether the game is definitely off for this weekend, Alleva said, The game is not going to happen at this point, no.LSU and Florida do not share a common open date, although they both play home nonconference games on Nov. 19 -- Florida against Presbyterian and LSU against South Alabama. Alleva called claims that Florida offered that date for a possible makeup during negotiations a flat-out lie.LSU has multiple issues against rescheduling the game on Nov. 19, starting with the $1.5 million buyout it would owe South Alabama. The school also lists among its concerns the millions of dollars that a canceled home game would drain from a local economy that has already been gutted by historic floods in August.There is also the issue of scheduling imbalance. Moving the Florida game to Nov. 19 would mean that LSU would play three SEC road games in the span of 13 days: Nov. 12 at Arkansas, Nov. 19 at Florida and Nov. 24 at Texas A&M on Thanksgiving night.Alleva said Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley insisted as late as Wednesday that Florida would be able to host the game and would not explore any other alternatives. Foleys message changed on Thursday, when weather forecasts concerning the hurricane grew more ominous.They thought it was going to stay out on the coast. Thats what they said, Alleva said. They thought it was going to be OK. That was basically it. From our experience here, we knew that first responders and policemen would not be available, because whenever theres a storm, youre going to lose all those important people. All those things I dont think were properly taken into consideration.Alleva said LSU offered multiple options to the SEC and Florida, including playing in Baton Rouge or a neutral site and even for the Tigers to fly into Gainesville on Sunday and out that night after the game, should it be moved back one day.We were willing to play anywhere that we needed to play, Alleva said.When the decision was made Thursday, Alleva said, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey made the call to postpone the game based upon the late logistical issues and Foleys safety concerns.At the end of the day, we had to respect the commissioners decision and Floridas concern for safety, Alleva said. Having been through hurricanes, we all know that safetys always going to be the No. 1 issue. Lucas Torreira Arsenal Jersey .
