The SEC office needs to make the call on tiebreakers given the new scenarios.

If the SEC rules that, for example, a 6-1 LSU team wins the West over a 7-1 Alabama team, no problem on our end. We're alive as much today as we were had we played tomorrow.
Tennessee, on the other hand, could possibly be screwed with this decision. Florida gets healthy and wins out at 6-1. Tennessee finishes 6-2 with the head to head over Florida. What happens? Who has more stroke in the office? We need to know soon. The players should know what is as stake, today.
Somebody gets screwed either way. I don't want to be forced by the SEC to cram our schedule just to get an easy way out, as usual. Be strong, Joe.

7-1 vs 6-1 and 7-2 and 6-1 are not ties one team in each situation has a better record.

There is 0 chance anyone in the SEC votes to allow a 6-1 team to be slotted ahead of a 7-1 team. It just won't happen.
This should have been made clear on Tuesday and Wednesday and not allowed to get to this point.

Not sure if serious.
Who is playing 9 SEC games this year?

It's a cluster flock.
What if you make each of the remaining 4 games for LSU and Florida worth 1.25 games? So everyone could possibly be on even footing at the end. A loss hurts more but winning out makes it even..
I dunno.

Have the winner of each division determined by the divisional record instead of conference record, i.e., the only conference games that matter for determining who makes it to Atlanta are games against schools in the West.

I like this idea best. It would give them an out, but would Foley allow it? Who is wearing the pants at the SEC.

Yeah. I thought this too. but it basically makes all remaining cross divisional games meaningless.
The only fair way, I see, without playing the game, is to weight games for LSU and Florida. Either the remaining SEC games for both teams are worth 1.25 games. Or the cross divisional games played for both teams are worth 2.0 (which is definitely a disadvantage for UF).

LSU did what they were supposed to. Offered everything within reason.
Alabama is going to SECCG, I just hope a two loss east team gets lucky and bears them. Playoff committee then leaves SEC out.

Lol. If you think Florida did this to catch up with Tennessee do you think they'll be fine with nullifying two (very) potential losses?

Since an sec game isn't being played that affects both divisions, it should be fewest sec losses first. Then head to head.

So you support LSU getting screwed in favor of Bama?

It's just a fact. How you got that they supported it is beyond me.

You can't change a rule in the middle of a season. The rule is working as designed. In case team(s) don't play the same number of games for any reason, it is worded that the team with the best winning percentage advances.

Didn't say he supports it. It's just how it would work. A 7-1 team will go to ATL over a 6-1 team regardless of head to head. 7-1 has a better win percentage. Pretty cut and dry.

Yup.
If not, why is ATL not the top 2 records instead of the two div champs?

Yeah you can. It just takes a vote, and that is where Joe Alleva and F.King Alexander pull out all of the stops to get the rule changed.

No its not working as designed. Even Joe Alleva admitted there was no plan or procedure in place for this situation. How can a rule be working as designed if it wasn't meant for this situation?

This year, head to head results should matter more than winning %. If we win out, and get left out of the SECCG- there will be so much trolling by every other SEC teams fans that it will be unbelievable.
