Is there a scenario where UT could clinch the division on the 19th? Looking at the standings and tiebreakers, it appears to be a possibility but someone smarter will have to verify.

Ehh, they'll be lucky to win out. That's the only thing Tennessee needs to focus on.

I guess if UF loses to both USC & LSU then yes.

Right now I fully believe UF will split the last two games. That would put UF at 5-3, and assuming UT wins out they are 5-3 as well. Seems like the most likely situation to me looking at the schedule.

No. Vols must win out - including Vandy.

If TN wins out and Florida loses another SEC game then TN wins the East

Yes this obviously would need to happen. It looks like UT would win tiebreakers against all teams in potential 4 or 5 way ties with UF, UK, USC and Uga.

UT will win out --- Florida will get blown out by Lsu and with their terrible offense may lose to sc -- The vols get a rematch with Alabama in the title game

If UF loses to both USC and LSU and VOLS beat both UK and Mizzou.
If that happens, VOLS go to Atlanta, no matter what happens with Vandy because VOLS will own tiebreakers in a four way first place tie that would have VOLS, UF, UK,and USC all finishing 4-4 in the East.

***Wait, on further reflection, I think in that four way scenario that USC goes because, like UT, THEY WOULD BE 2-1 against the other three and USC wins the head to head.
So, VOLS need to win out to go to Atlanta.

What if UT, Vandy, Kentucky and SC all finish at 4-4. Does it go to the highest ranked team or what?

What about SC they own the tiebreaker over the Vols.

With more than 3 teams at 4-4, the loss to USC would be swallowed up in the combined head to head record tiebreaker among the tied teams. UT and USC would each be 2-1 against the other 3, assuming Uga loses to Auburn. If Uga beats Auburn, UT would win that first tiebreaker with a 3-1 record.

Not sure that's possible. USCjr would need a ton of help with UT losing and UF losing to even have a shot. And if those two teams choke that much UK would be the one benefiting, not Vandy or USCjr with how ties are.
