What happens in a 3 way tie scenario? Do they just flip a coin to decide who goes to Atlanta?


Team with the highest ranking goes, which would probably be ole miss in this scenario if they win out. If ole miss drops Georgia, their hopes are basically over. I’d say bama definitely has the edge. We really needed arky to beat them

No that's not a tiebreaker. It's the winning % of East opponents between the 3 teams. So you would look at UGA/Vandy for Ole Miss, Mizzou/Florida for LSU, and Kentucky/Tennessee for Bama. Whichever pair of teams has the highest winning %, the team that played them goes.

If it's a 2 way tie for first on that tiebreaker then it's back to head to head between those 2 teams.

If all 3 pairs somehow have the same winning %, then they flip a coin for all 3 teams and whichever team has the unique result goes to Atlanta (So if 2 teams flips heads and 1 team flips tails, the tails goes)

"team with the highest ranking" doesn't come in to play at all. If none of the below breaks the tie, they flip a coin, literally

2. Three-Team Tie (or more): If three teams (or more) are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order: (Note: If one of the procedures results in one team being eliminated and two remaining, the two-team tiebreaker procedure as stated in No. 1 above will be used):

A. Combined head to head record among the tied teams;

B. Record of the tied teams within the division;

C. Head to head competition against the team within the division with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through the division (multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place);

D. Overall Conference record against non divisional teams;

E. Combined record against all common non divisional teams;

F. Record against the common non divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through other common non divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division; and

G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents (Note: If two teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, then the two-team tiebreaker procedures apply. If four teams are tied, and three teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, the three-team tiebreaker procedures will be used beginning with 2.A.);

H. Coin flip of the tied teams with the team with the odd result being the representative (Example: If there are two teams with tails and one team with heads, the team with heads is the representative).

If there's one thing you can always count on, it's Arkansas to keep Ole Miss out of Atlanta.
