The league office still hasn't figure that shite out yet.

Much sooner rather than later there's going to be one 7-1 team and three 6-2 teams. What you should do after that I have no idea.

Academic success, like graduation rate? Or fewest tickets, arrests, citations…

All the more reason to replace Skankey and relocate SEC Headquarters to Texas

Most of these Birmingham boys can't tie their own shoes

After conference record head to head then CFP ranking if they didn't play each other to protect against the SEC losing a spot there because of out of conference play.

Can barking at women and children be a disqualification?

It will get weird at some point. For example, if my team is 6-2 and 10-2 overall, I'm actually hoping that we don't play in the SECCG, because a loss in the SECCG might knock you out of the playoffs.

Recency bias always sets in after the SECCG and if you play like dog shite in the SECCG, things can get screwy.

For example this was the CFP rankings after the final week of the regular season...

If you have 3 teams tied: A & B played, B & C played, but A & C didn't, .....

Texas AD Chris Del Conte is determining the rules as we speak.

Once he approves the SEC will post them accordingly.

Alphabetically or a committee made of the SEC office in Birmingham will work similarly to how they picked the playoff teams in years prior.

I don't think that's a realistic scenario now that there aren't divisions.

Both teams in the SECCG will make the 12-team playoff, regardless of result. SECCG will just determine who gets the bye.

Whatever it is be sure to publish it before the season starts. Otherwise fans will think it was made to get a particular team in.

The old Big 12 had a very complicated set of tie breakers , but they seemed fair but overly complicated……

Connect 4 Tournament between head coaches at the Waffle House most proximate to the teams involved in tiebreaker.

Shorthorns will NOT be able to run the SEC. You texsa fans might need to realize you won't get every cheat call and nobody cares when you cry about horns-down.

What if the team that loses the SECCG completely shits the bed and loses by 4 or 5 touchdowns, dropping them to 10-3. That really really wouldn't be a good look. Recency bias is real.

How about fewest rapes, sexual assaults and domestic violence?
