Do you think this changes anything with FLA/UC? Or does it for you?

I think instead of Florida winning by 4 tds, they will now win by 6 tds.....Meyer won't let off the gas now.

This is what I thought too. FLA was going to easily cover the pointspread. This seems to make it more probable. The only downside is every game where 100% of the public likes a certain team, they usually dont cover.

According to a site posting lines from appx 15 Vegas sites. The opening line was 10.5. It now ranges from 10.5 to 13.

It doesn't change the pointspread too much, but if Cincy keeps it close(or hell, manages to win) it certainly changes how the media will address things.

Cincy at that point would get no credit for playing well enough to win the game and it will all be pinned on Florida being distracted by the impending exit of Meyer as the reason they lost the game.

The spread opened at 10.5 and quickly went to 12.5/some places. I think very smart point about Cinci getting no credit were they to win. It would be all about Fla. being let down. Shame for the Cats, they are basically in a No win situation. That being said, they werent going to keep it close anyways!!

yeah, I can't see them keeping it too close, especially because they're defense in the front seven is vastly undersized compared to Florida up front

Cincinnati didn't have a chance anyway. This doesn't change anything.

Florida isn't as good as they are hyped up to be. Look at their game against Tennessee. They are definitely beatable. It just a matter of how many points can UC's offense put on the board, and what can M. Gilyard do on special teams.
