Not really. Even if Missouri loses to SC, if they win out after that game, their in. Missouri is the only team in the East that controls their own destiny mostly due to the light front-end schedule; you guys didn't play an SEC game until your 5th game against Vandy. The wins vs battered Georgia and Florida have you in the drivers seat. But obviously SC, OM and A&M will tell the tale. I like Missouri to win the East regardless. Not missing a beat after losing your starting QB was impressive.

The only game on the schedule that would be a surprising loss is Kentucky. Every other game is going to be a battle.




Great attitude and I must say compared to A&M fans Mizzou fans in general handle their success much more dignified than A&M fans do.

Don't sleep on Tennessee right now either.

So SC doesn't win the head to head tie-breaker due to Mizzou losing inter-divisional games?


Seems backwards. Head-to-head should always be the final deciding factor.

But if that's the case, I doubt Mizzou loses 3 more games. Congrats on winning the East in your second year Mizzou. Damn.

If Georgia had come in healthy, it would be a completely feel for the season. We got a huge boost coming out of that game that multiplied against Florida. The Tigers are playing dominant ball. There are bashers that take issue with that - but every true football fan understands the power of momentum.

A&M was a set up to be a challenging game. But, with Johnny boy hurt, they go from being a two-player team to no real threat this season. I hope like hell their coaches don't drug him up to play all season. He needs the time to heal his shoulder. The kid is an a$$ but he is something special to watch. We'll see.

False. Don't overlook Dylan Thompson---SC's backup. He threw the game-winning touchdown at last seasons Outback Bowl vs MICH.

SC won't win a head-to-head tie breaker (if they win) unless Mizzou loses 2 SEC games, and then it would be a 3 way tie between UGA (should it win out), SC, and Mizzou. Whoever is ranked higher takes it in that scenario.

The way the east plays out has the potential to be nightmare, if Mizzou loses 2 games.

In the event of a tie for the division championship, the following procedures will be used to break all ties to determine the SEC Football Championship Game representative. All Conference versus Conference Games (both division and non-division) will be counted in the Conference Standings.

A. TWO-TEAM TIE

1. Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams.
2. Records of the tied teams within the division.
3. Head-to-head competition vs. the team within the division with the best overall record (divisional and non-divisional) Conference record and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last.
4. Overall record vs. all common non-divisional opponents.
5. Combined record vs. all common non-divisional teams.
6. Record vs. common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference (divisional and non-divisional) record and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division.
7. The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings following the last weekend of regular-season games shall be the divisional representative in the SEC Championship Game.


B. THREE (OR MORE) TEAM TIE

1. (Once the tie has been reduced to two teams, go to the two-team tie-breaker format.)
2. Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams.
3. Record of the tied teams within the division.
4. Head-to-head competition vs. the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) Conference record and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last.
5. Overall record vs. non-division teams.
6. Combined record vs. all common non-divisional teams.
7. Record vs. common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference (divisional and non-divisional) record and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division.
8. The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings following the last weekend of regular-season games shall be the divisional representative in the SEC Championship Game, unless the second of the tied teams is ranked within five-or-fewer places of the highest ranked tied team. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the SEC Championship Game.

frick this noise. Coin toss like in Friday Night Lights is the only way to go. Old Man Tiebreaker.

So then, Rant. Coin toss between Pinkel, Spurrier and Richt. Who you got?

Really then, for all the talk of a "commanding" lead for Missouri in the Division, it is in fact anything but. It's just a one game playoff scenario.

win this game and MU will win the East, lost it and they are actually an underdog IMO

We're the team that has the ball, we're the team that can score faster than frick. So that is why we are better than everyone in the world. So kiss my arse and suck my dick, everyone.


You have reached the end of cassette number three.

You'd better beat USCe, cause A&M isn't losing to Missouri.

Yawn. Manziel better send Sam and Ealy flowers and chocolates. Because they are going to molest that poor boy.

If Bama's D wasn't able to molest Manziel, I'm not too worried about Mizzou.

It will be a good game, and I think the best team will win.
