Nope. They did not all play each other...

#1 Vanderbilt- All 3 were swept by the Commodores
#2 Arkansas- South Carolina did not play, so skip over them
#3 Mississippi St.- Kentucky did not play them, so skip over them
#4 Georgia- Bama is playing UGA now (trail series 0-1). S. Carolina was swept. Kentucky was 1-2 against Georgia.

So if Kentucky, South Carolina, and Alabama all go 0-3 this weekend, Kentucky wins the tie-breaker?

Not sure how this:

Works with this:

quote:

All 3 teams did not play each other (Alabama never played Kentucky); however, Alabama is 2-1 vs South Carolina and South Carolina is 2-1 vs Kentucky. That might equate to:
.667 win % for Alabama
.500 win % for South Carolina
.333 win % for Kentucky

In that scenario, Alabama gets in.

If NOT, then vs Vanderbilt:
Alabama 0-3
South Carolina 0-3
Kentucky 0-1 with two games remaining

Current #2 team Arkansas (skipped because USC did not play them):
Alabama 1-2
South Carolina - DNP
Kentucky 1-2

Current #3 team Miss State (I guess - skipped):
Alabama 0-3
South Carolina 0-1 (currently)
Kentucky - DNP

Current #4 team Georgia:
Alabama 0-1 (currently)
South Carolina 0-3
Kentucky 1-2

#5 Seed LSU(?)
Alabama 1-2
South Carolina DNP
Kentucky 0-3

So if Rule #1 doesn't apply, then it depends:
If Kentucky gets 1 win vs Vandy, they go
If Vandy sweeps Kentucky, then...
If Georgia:
Sweeps Alabama, Kentucky goes
Loses 1 to Alabama, tie breaker moves to Arkansas set, then UGA set, then... LSU? If so, Alabama goes.
Loses 2 or more to Alabama: Alabama goes

Presuming seeds remain where they are.

At least, that's how it looks to me.
