ok auburn, bama, ole miss and msu are out of this competition. they just don't qualify.
that leaves us with a&m, lsu and Arkansas. and this is going to be some close race.
A&M: self anointed playoff candidate in August has now hit a wall. they have lost 2 in a row and still have to play bama, auburn and Lsu. their defense sucks and their patented QB has major turnover issues. probable sec record is 3-5.
LSU: only have one SEC win with 5 to play, including bama and ole miss. also have to play both a&m and Arkansas so lsu controls their own destiny here. gonna be tough to finish better than 3-5
R-Kansas: the defending champion of the cellar is winless so far but is much improved over last year. and they have already played the aggies and get lsu at home. possible final record of 3-5.
I know most folks will be concentrating their focus on which of the above 4 teams will WIN the SEC west but you would be making a big mistake if you miss the drama that will be the race for last place. a&m and Arkansas absolutely loathe LSU. and LSU plays them both at their place. but LSU has Les Miles and they don't.
this is going to be one interesting finish and I, for one, am damn sure not going to miss it.

I would pick A&M with LSU running close 2nd

LSU wins out, so not us.

Arkansas and LSU are the clear favorites

A&M has gotten blown out by both good teams they've playerd, they are no better than Arky or LSU

aTm was a retarded trip call penalty from getting BTFO by Arky, so I could see them finishing last.

A&M or Arkansas will get last. LSU probably beats UK and will beat A&M. Arkansas will beat LSU and Mizzou, maybe UGA too. A&M's only remaining win would be Mizzou. Since A&M has h2h with Arky they may not even need it to avoid last.
All this said Arky is better though less talented and should have closed out A&M. They'll be last but aren't the worst. They got unlucky drawing UGA from the East.

I know y'all at ole miss loathe LSU too. sorry for the slight.
the hell of it is, ALL THREE of these teams would be in the hunt for the Big 12, Big 10 and ACC titles. not to mention clear favorites in the other non 5 power conferences.
the SEC west is a tough place to live.

that scenario could create a three tie with 3-5 records. I say we use head to head results as a tiebreaker. if they beat each other (arky beats LSU, LSU beats aggie and aggie has beaten arky) then it's a split. a tie.
