FYI: SEC Division Winner Tiebreakers
Posted on 11/4/23 at 1:07 pm
Posted on 11/4/23 at 1:07 pm
1. Two-Team Tie: In the event two teams are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order:
A. Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams;
B. Records of the tied teams within the division;
C. Head-to-head competition against the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) Conference record, 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 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 or non-divisional) and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division;
G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents
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.);
Coin flip if all others exhausted.

For this scenario, assume Bama, LSU, and OP end up 7-1 and in a threeway tie. In that case, it looks like rule 2F would decide it. If UGA wins the SECE, OMiss would win the tiebreaker. If Mizzou wins the SECE, LSU would win the tiebreaker. Tennessee would have to win the SECE for Bama to win that tiebreaker.
Go Mizzou!
Go Mizzou!

No I don’t think that’s how it works

That’s incorrect. LSU would win. Mizzou and UF have better records than UGA and Vandy.

quote:yes they covered it on SEC nation this morning. If LSU and Ole Miss win out LSU still goes to the SECCG since Mizzou and UF have better records than Bama’s and Ole Miss’ East opponents. LSU will be in the SECCG if they win today. Big stakes.

2F states it is common opponents going down the list. The 3 teams don't play a single common East opponent, all 6 games vs east opponents are unique for them.

We would win the West as things stand today. However, if our two East opponents have a late season collapse, it could get dicey. Further, if Alabama drops another game, we lose the head to head tiebreaker with Ole Miss. Only way for us to control our own destiny as it stands now is for Ole Miss to drop a game. Short of that, I think it would take another week or two for the East opponent records to make it a lock.

This is why smart people are hoping aTm somehow wins the game today. Eliminating Ole miss and making tonight’s game for the SECw

No it won’t. Vandy is Ole Piss’s other one. That’s an 8 spot and even if they beat UGAthat would be 8+1
You’re a moron pikes peak

Florida and Missouri, LSU's opponents, are currently a combined 6-3 in conference. Florida is currently in a dogfight and Missouri plays Georgia. That could very well shift to 6-5 after today. Tenn and Kentucky, Bama's opponents, are currently 4-5. Georgia and Vandy, Ole Miss's opponents, are currently 5-5. Plenty of scenarios are still easily mathematically possible.
You already showed your arse on the other thread before ultimately having to acknowledge that you were incorrect. We really don't need a repeat.

Look dude, eATMe is probably gonna win so I just hope it doesn’t hurt us in the end. All this shite will go away next year with the expansion but the refs are horrible and I hope that doesn’t happen tonight
Oh and Bama’s are 5-5. You must’ve forgot to carry the 1
