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.

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.

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.
