I have 1 prediction where the SEC has 6 teams tied at 6-2. But I don't know how to order a few team in a tie break.
TX AM sitting pretty at 7-1
Bama losses - LSU/OK
Georgia losses- Bama/Ole Miss
Ole Miss losses- OK/Miss St.
LSU losses- Ole Miss/OK
OK losses- Texas/TN
TN losses- Georgia/Bama

It's complicated


Sankey brings in the referees to read tie breaker rules and they declare 0-8 KY Jelly the SEC champion making 3 people multi-millionaires who bet on KY in Vegas to win SEC regular season championship.

Video Review confirmed the call and all 4 KY fans everywhere celebrated.

With Sankey and the SEC, there probably won’t be any tie breakers. What will happen is Bama first, Georgia second and then everyone else.

In your scenario, TN is out because both losses are to teams involved in the tie, so head to head record is 0-2.

Believe it or not, your case would come down to Ole Miss and OK. Everyone else would be out due to the 0-2 record among tied teams.

SEC would then go to common opponents of OM and OK to decide who plays TaM

Head to Head doesn't work that way. All teams have to have played each other or a team has to have won or lost to all teams tied for anyone to be eliminated.
