Do division games count "more" for tiebreaker purposes in the SEC?



There's a long list of tiebreakers, but the first two are head-to-head, and then record within the division. So yes, division games can matter more.

Seems like sanity has prevailed ever since Miles escaped the gallows in November. May be that the most important element is the blessing of staying healthy all year.

Didn't they just feature Fournette/LSU on the cover as their #1 preseason team?

Brandon Harris lost more confidence than Jamie Howard.


This should be the #1 concern of anyone who knows or has watched LSU football.

Using agree with ESPN but LSU is not a playoff contender. We are just 6 games away from a new head coach!!!

SEC: LSU This one is a little tough for me, because I think this team might be the most talented in the SEC. But I honestly don’t even know what to think of what the mental state of the LSU Tigers will be this season. Sure, a team with Leonard Fournette and a defense like it has should be near the top of the playoff charts, but remember all that late-season drama in Baton Rouge? You know, the whole Les Miles was maybe going to be fired, then he wasn’t fired, then everyone loved him? Well, what happens if the Tigers lose early? Is he out? What about a loss to Alabama? Gone then? No matter the talent -- or the supposed improvement of embattled quarterback Brandon Harris -- we have no clue how this team and coaching staff will react to adversity. I can’t trust a team that has to walk a tightrope all season long and could crumble at the first misstep. -- Edward Aschoff



I agree with some but the "whole Les Miles thing" is in the past and we came out strong against Texas Tech. With a big Win in the bowl game that momentum can carry to next season. I see us better at every position this year than last year and if Harris can just control, execute, and not turn the ball over, I dont think its crazy us being right there to win the West in November. Time will tell though

Yea I agree for the most part. I finally came down off last season's emotions to re-watch a few games including atm and the bowl game. BH was not smooth with the decision making or spots, outside of a bomb or two. I'm eager to see what the kid's improved on come September.

LSU should be top ten preseason but not #1 in ANY poll. Now they CAN make it to # 1... But it will take a lot of luck and the ball bouncing the right way...

Picking Tennessee is like picking A&M.
Have to do something before being proclaimed a champion.
