Alabama has already beaten Ole Miss
Ole Miss has already beaten LSU.

LSU will beat Alabama.

All 3 teams will win the remainder of their conference games.

This will result in a 3-way tie with no head-to-head solution.

SEC 3-way tiebreakers

quote:

A. Combined head to head record among the tied teams;

B. Record of the tied teams within the division;

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);

D. Overall Conference record against non divisional teams;

E. Combined record against all common non divisional teams;

F. Record against the common non divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through other common non divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division


None of these will apply if each team wins their other conference games.

Which leaves this:

quote:

G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents


Predicted SEC records:

LSU non-divisional opponents
Missouri (5-3)
Florida (3-5)

Combined: 8-8 (.500)

Alabama
Tennessee (4-4)
Kentucky (4-4)

Combined: 8-8 (.500)

Ole Miss
Georgia (7-1)
Vandy (1-7)

Combined: 8-8 (.500)

This leaves nothing left but the coin flip.

quote:

H. Coin flip of the tied teams with the team with the odd result being the representative (Example: If there are two teams with tails and one team with heads, the team with heads is the representative).

We may get up and beat Alabama again but I would be shocked if we win out

"All right, gentlemen, it all comes down to this flip of the coin. I'd like to draw your attention to the coin that we will be using. On this side you can see that it has been stamped, 'Alabama wins,' while on the reverse had been stamped, 'All non-Alabama teams lose'. Now, best of luck to all of you, and let's let fate decide."

There used to be a BCS ranking tiebreaker in there.

It's why in 2003 UGA went to the SECCG if I remember correctly. Did that get dropped rather than replaced with the CFP ranking?

Might be a tie but the Tigers won’t be a part of it.

I sure hope that whichever west team wins the coin toss is able to match up well with Kentucky in Atlanta.

I miss the pre-expansion rule for tie breakers - whoever was the least recent to make the trip to NOLA for the Sugar got the nod

That would give it to Ole Miss

A&M should be considered in this. They look as good as anyone else

Auburn is still a wildcard they gave Georgia a good game

Arky and MSU will battle for last place

Winner of the West will have 2-3 losses imo

Wouldn't they just use rankings like they did in 03 when UF/UGA/UT all finished with the same record?

Good to know. It'd be really helpful if you could tell me if they'll cover.
