Very early SEC tiebreaker scenarios

Featured Replies

IF Texas finishes with one SEC loss, LSU is the team to watch that Texas does not control its destiny against. We need LSU to lose to TAMU, Florida, Vanderbilt or OU. TAMU winning that game this week seems like the best hope there.  

- A one loss winner of the UGA-Tennessee game has the tiebreaker on Texas. 

- A one loss Texas obviously has the tiebreaker on the loser of the UGA-Tennessee game.

- Texas plays TAMU and Vanderbilt, so obviously controls its own destiny there.

-Texas would have tiebreaker over Mizzou (TAMU win compared to Mizzou loss)

- the Kicker: if LSU only loses to Alabama, the tiebreaker with one loss Texas would come down to cumulative conference winning percentage of Texas’ conference opponents vs that of LSU. This essentially reduces to the cumulative conference winning percentage of UGA + Mississippi State + Kentucky (for Texas) vs Bama + Ole Miss + South Carolina (for LSU). LSU would almost certainly win that tiebreaker. 

This will be interesting to keep up with, we should have a lot more clarity in the next two weeks given some of these 0 and 1 loss teams will square off head to head.
