Yes. Tie goes to record against the number 4 team, then 5th if necessary, which in this scenario will be Ole Miss and Arkansas depending on which beats LSU. State would have beaten both of them.


Okay, I see what you're saying now.

quote:

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);


Yes, the above rule would most likely get triggered long before reaching the rule I was referencing.

I stand corrected.

A&M is eliminated. The best they can do is a five way tie at 5-3.

Everyone still alive needs State to beat Alabama. If that happens, here's the lineup.

if LSU beats Arkansas:
LSU - in oontrol of own destiny
Ole Miss - in control of own destiny
Mississippi State - would need one LSU loss to either Ole Miss or A&M and Alabama to beat Auburn
Alabama - would need LSU to beat Ole Miss, Ole Miss to beat MSU and A&M to beat LSU
Arkansas - eliminated

if Arkansas beats LSU:
Ole Miss - in control of own destiny
Mississippi State - in control of own destiny
Arkansas - would need Auburn to beat Alabama
LSU - would need Auburn to beat Alabama and Arkansas to lose to MSU or Mizzou
Alabama - would need LSU to beat Ole Miss and Ole Miss to beat MSU

If Bama beats State, then Arkansas, MSU and the Ole Miss/LSU loser are eliminated. The Ole Miss/LSU winner would have to win out and have Auburn beat Alabama.

Additionally, LSU is eliminated with a loss and an Alabama win over MSU.

A 3 way tie between state, Bama, and LSU goes to state. The trick is getting to that point.


As long as A&M doesn't end up in fourth

So Arkansas can win the West if we win out and bama loses to State and to aubarn.

So about the same odds as bama losing three of their next two games.

i feel like LSU wins big in this game. I'd be very surprised if the score doesn't end 42-14 in favor of LSU. Fournette will have a huge game.

If state wins out, Bama beats Auburn, and LSU drops only one game, State goes to ATL.


State has to win out, OM has to beat LSU, and State goes to ATL. This would cause a 3 way tie between State, LSU, and Bama at 6-2 apiece. We would all be 1-1 against each other in a head to head, so the next way they determine is record against the #4 team in the West, which will be OM. State will have beat OM, while LSU and Bama both lost to OM.

In the above scenario, if OM beats State then OM goes to ATL. So basically if OM beats LSU and we beat Bama and Arky the egg bowl will decide the west champion.

I bet you are feeling really precipitousness.
