Did you guys hear Urban Meyer's reasoning for picking LSU over Florida?
He thought LSU would be better prepared, since they played a cupcake (Utah St) the week before, while Florida had a BYE. Urban's logic is, he get more practice time. He'd rather play an easy game than have the week off. During the BYE weeks, the players get time off. He said, "Having more practice time, plus playing at home gives LSU the edge".
Interestingly, in a few weeks... LSU has a BYE in the week before they go play AT Bama.
I have definitely noticed over the years that NFL do NOT PLAY AS WELL the week after a bye.

That could be another argument for an FBS playoff starting immediately after the regular season ends ( like NCAA FCS, DII, and DIII do). Have first round games the week following the conference champ games rather than the long 5-6 week wait for the big Dr. Pepper Invitational bowls.
