Let's Look Ahead for a Minute

Ok, this is obviously a hypothetical, so don't get butthurt over it. I'm not making a prediction in any way just imagining what might play out.
This is a look ahead to the potential of the November 14th weekend. We have two key matchups taking place:
Auburn at Georgia
Miss State at Alabama
Let's say all teams involved win out until this weekend. It's definitely doable with Auburn having the toughest test, going to Oxford. All teams would be top 10, and should something crazy happen, potentially top 5.
So you've got Gameday making the tough decision to go to Tuscaloosa or Athens. You've got CBS choosing between two top 10 matchups. If ESPN has the second pick, they would likely put the other game in the 7:45 slot right?
That weekend could really shape both divisions. A Georgia win would, and I haven't done the math but I feel confident, clinch the East. A Georgia win would probably eliminate Auburn from the west race. A win for Miss State would seemingly clinch the west for them (assuming Auburn beats Ole Miss). Someone correct me if I'm wrong on the divisional math but that seems right.
If it plays out that way, November 14th would be a HUGE weekend in the SEC and one of the best I can remember in terms of big matchups with so much on the line.
Again, this is a hypothetical, Srntbl.

Choose Athens and call for a Blackout.

At this point the egg bowl is the most important game in the sec. Now it could all change with a loss by ethier team to anybody other than UA and AU.
But even if UA and AU beat OM and MSU it still comes down to the egg bowl.

If auburn is the only game ole miss loses to that point they could still get the tie break with a win over State at the end of the year.

Of course, it'd be a huge weekend with the potential to spawn a bigger weekend. If this happened and Auburn and Alabama won (and Ole Miss only lost one), we'd basically have the college football playoff in one weekend in the west.
I don't think those scenarios are likely, but what a ridiculous show that would be

If everybody wins out until then, I'd imagine Alabama and MSU would be on CBS since MSU would be #1 and Alabama #3. Auburn-UGA would be primetime ESPN.

UF beats UG and this thread is more useless.

No shite Sherlock. That's why it's a hypothetical.

What are the rules in a 3-way tie?
