Anybody figured out if we beat UT wednesday and assuming those in front of use win, what would be the final Saturday scenario in regards to SECt seeding?

I assume we could be anywhere from 2nd to 6th

I'm sure its convoluted but I know someone has done the math

We hold the tie breakers over Ole Miss and UGA (all 3 at 10-6 currently). UGA still plays UK and Ole Miss has games at Bama and home vs Vandy.

At this point 4th seed is most likely given Ole Miss loses one of their two games or LSU can beat Arkansas.

I think Texas A&M holds onto the 3 seed. The Aggies would have to lose both @Florida and home vs Alabama.

Arkansas would have to lose at South Carolina and at home vs LSU for us to pass them.

Barring a huge collapse in their final two games, A&M is going to finish ahead of LSU. They would have to lose their final two (along with LSU winning their final two) in order to slip behind LSU. For LSU the 3 seed is a remote possibility with the 4 seed being a bit more likely (but in no way a given)

To get the 3 seed LSU has to win their final two (UT, @Ark) while Ark has to lose thier final two (@USC, LSU)

If both Ole Miss (@ Bama) and UGA (UK) lose this week, and LSU beats UT, LSU clinches at least the 4th seed.

Also, LSU holds the tie breakers between them and UGA, and Ole Miss.

The most realistic way LSU slips to the 5th seed is to go 1-1 this week, while Ole Miss finishes 2-0. Same with UGA, but it is much more likely that OM goes 2-0 than UGA
