Sec Title Scenarios

[Persian Vol]

Winning against Auburn and Alabama were monumental obviously. But with two games remaining, I’m assuming that if we beat South Carolina we clinch the regular season title. If we lose what do the tiebreakers look like?

2 chances to win an SEC title. Win both and it’s not a shared title. Simple.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Win Wednesday and we have it outright. Lose to USCjr and we're needing them to lose at MSU and we of course beat UK. We lose both and not really much of a chance of us getting a share.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

We hold tie breaker over Bammers, AU. But not USCe at the moment. Really just beat them and end it all together.

Not if Alabama wins Tuesday.

Tiebreakers are for SECT seeding only. If we end up tied with Alabama, it's a co-championship regardless of us sweeping them.

Tie breakers only affect SECT seeding. They don’t come into play for a shared SEC regular season championship.

That's right. Forgot about that dumb rule. Need to win out then.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I think UF beats Bammer anyway.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

TN 13-3
Bama 12-4
USCjr 12-4
KY 11-5
Barn 11-5
FL 10-6

TN: at USCjr, v KY
Bama: at FL, v Ark
USCjr: v TN, at MSU
KY: v Vandy, at TN
FL: v Bama, at Vandy
Barn: at Mizz, v GA

That USCe loss earlier this year stings now.

Not necessarily, if Florida can beat Alabama Tuesday then our game against SC will be for the outright SEC for us. In that scenario we beat SC and the UK game is meaningless.......well from an SEC Championship perspective. I still want to curb stomp them.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I think UT has wrapped up the double bye in the SECT.

Winning out solves the problem automatically though. No need to rely on others.

 

[BACKDOC]

Seems crazy that we are now playing another SEC title game Wed. against lowly Carolina, but they find a way to win close games.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

But if we're gonna play the if so and so beats so and so, go ahead and throw MSU beating USCe in there. Then if we lose to them and beat UK we're still good as long as Bammer loses to UF.

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

I would rather just beat UK at this point. I wanna beat USCe too but at this point, gimme the win over the Cats and I'm gonna be happy.

Even more so if Alabama loses at Florida

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

That USCe loss earlier this year stings now.

And the MSU, TaM losses

 

[VOLywood]

If we win 1 more game we are at least co-champions. Win both and we are outright champions.

So 1 win is still a championship banner.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I firmly believe we will win out

 

[connor]

Let’s just win out because we’re the best team in this country. How’s that
