The grade has been turned in, so I doubt it would help. Professors usually rarely give Fs if they can rationalize giving a higher grade – you REALLY didn’t know the material if you got an F in most cases.
If you went to his office hours a lot this semester, that could sway him (hopefully you did). You can give it a try. You can still go through the appeals process as well. But I would also make a Plan B in case you have to leave your college.
