The chances are 1 in a million, but here is why we should cheer for Vandy.

Florida plays (3-3) SEC record
Vandy this weekend
South Carolina next weekend

if they lose either of these then we are tied with them in SEC rankings (they have the tie breaker)

Georgia plays
Kentucky this weekend
Auburn next weekend

Kentucky is unlikely to beat Georgia, but we need for Georgia to lose out. (they have the tie breaker)

Missouri Still has 3 SEC games
Texas A&M
Tennessee
Arkansas (least likely of all games)

Missouri needs to lose out. (We would have the tie breaker over them) This is key because they have the tie breaker over Florida. Florida has the tie breaker over Georgia. This just creates a circle meaning that overall records are determined.

If UGA loses those game, that leaves them with 6 wins.

If Florida loses to Vandy or USC they would have to beat FSU to have a better overall record.

If Missouri loses those games we then have the same overall record. So now our only head-to-head is Missouri, and we go to the SEC championship.

So I'm saying there's a chance...a diminutive chance, but a chance

I agree, I am happy with a bowl game. It's a bye week and I was just curious so I was looking just to see if there was even a mathematical chance.

That's so far fetched that I'm going to cheer for Florida.
I hope they win out, keep Muschump, and we make him eat his postgame remarks next year.

It's not mathematically possible for us to win the east.

Georgia would win the above if florida loses out as they best both Tennessee and Mizzou head to head.

Florida wins a 4 way tie.

From what I have read, we are not allowed.
There are 2 reasons.
1. We seem to take great pleasure in declaring dominance over the smallest kid in class.
2." They are all snooty and smart and stuff.
Checker Vandy, that'll teach Bama."

Give the OP credit. If you're going to come up with a whacked out scenario, make it a doozy.

Its overall (SEC) record against non-division teams. So we would lose that tie breaker. UGA would be 1-1 in that case and everyone else would be 0-2 so they would win.


SEC Divisional Tie-Breaker

2. Three-Team Tie (or more): If three teams (or more) are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order: (Note: If one of the procedures results in one team being eliminated and two remaining, the two-team tiebreaker procedure as stated in No. 1 above will be used):

A. Combined head to head record among the tied teams;

B. Record of the tied teams within the division;

C. Head to head competition against the team within the division with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through the division (multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place);

D. Overall Conference record against non divisional teams;

E. Combined record against all common non divisional teams;

F. Record against the common non divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through other common non divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division; and

G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents (Note: If two teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, then the two-team tiebreaker procedures apply. If four teams are tied, and three teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, the three-team tiebreaker procedures will be used beginning with 2.A.);

I have zero hope of us making the SEC championship game. I'm shooting low this season for us to break even and get a bowel game lol
