MSU loses to bama and ole miss. We win out and there's a 3 way tie between AU/ MSU / and tonights LSU/UA Victor. Do we go to ATL?

MSU would have to lose to Vandy, Bama, and Ole Miss

We can only hope to win out beat rivals and get a good bowl. Championship hopes are over this season.

It would likely depend on the results of the USC-FL game and Kentucky-Tenn games. USC wins that game and we'd have a better shot with tiebreakers against Bama and LSU.

Really? I thought the guy was the "winner" in a threesome?!?!?

Well if ole miss wins out it could potentially be a 4 way

Then you revert to head to head w/ AU & Rebs. AU won that game and would get the division title. Bama versus Miss St would then decide 3rd so the order would be 1. AU 2. Rebs 3. Bama 4. Miss St.

the Bama team I saw tonight wont beat MSU, or us unless we spot them 14 at the beginning as well, so its whatev. Ole miss could win out, though.

quote:A 3 way tie would mean Ole Miss losses to Arky. If that happens then the next step is seeing if LSU or TAMU tie Ole Miss for 4th in the division. If Ole Miss is alone in 4th then you go down to best record versus the first non tied team since the H2Hs and division records would be the same for AU, Bama, & Miss St. AU would be the only 1 of the 3 to beat Ole Miss and thus win the division.
MSU loses to bama and ole miss. We win out and there's a 3 way tie between AU/ MSU / and tonights LSU/UA Victor. Do we go to ATL?
Now if Rebs lose to Arky and either TAMU or LSU win out tying the Rebs for 4th then record versus 4th place team can't break the tie because a first place tie must be broken before a 4th place tie even if the 4th place tie is simple and straight forward Point C under 3 team tie. It would then depend on who is tied for 4th. If it's Ole Miss & TAMU then You would then go down to best conference win % of non division opponents as all 3 tied teams beat 6th & 7th (LSU & Arky). AU has the lead there over Bama right now. SCe & UGA have a combined record of 7-7 while UF & UT are 5-7 with UT having a virtual win in the bank coming against Vandy. If Florida beats SCe next week then Tennesse would need to beat 1 of UK or Mizzou. That would make AU's East opponents 7-9 & Bama's 8-8 giving Bama the division even in losing their last conference game. If SCe beats UF then all Bama's East opponents can do is tie AU's East opponents. If there is a tie in East Division opponent con win % then you use the head to head for AU and Bama there (Point 2G from the link above). AU will have won the tie breaker there by beating Bama and win the division. Miss St is not a factor there as the best UK and Vandy will do is 3-13.

If Ole Miss & LSU tie for 4th then we have problems. The next step would be record versus 6th place team which would be TAMU. We would be eliminated due to tonight's loss. Then it would revert to H2H for Bama & Miss St and Bama would then win the division.

To simplify things pull for:
1. AU to win out
2. Miss St lose to Rebs & Bama
3. Rebs to win out
If Rebs lose to Arky then pull for 1 & 2 plus:
both LSU & TAMU to lose 1 more game
If TAMU ties Rebs for 4th then pull for 1 & 2 plus:
SCe to beat UF or UT to lose to Mizzou & UK
1. AU to win out
2. Miss St lose to Rebs & Bama
3. Rebs to win out
If Rebs lose to Arky then pull for 1 & 2 plus:
both LSU & TAMU to lose 1 more game
If TAMU ties Rebs for 4th then pull for 1 & 2 plus:
SCe to beat UF or UT to lose to Mizzou & UK

We have a better chance of finishing tied for 4th

at this thread....
Everyone just needs to deal with the fact that we are out. We will be watching from the outside on this one and we deserve it.
Im hoping for a close bowl game so I dont have to drive so far.
I would prefer us to play someone at the Atlanta Falcons complex. I can ride my bike up there.

For anyone wondering, if we were to lose to Bama & UGA the worst case bowl game likely is the Liberty Bowl versus West Virginia.
