re: True or False - If we sweep Auburn this weekend we are back in it

Let's look at possibilities.

To get to Hoover we need to end ahead of two teams. The most likely two are Auburn and Mizzou. That is our first hurdle IMO. Also the most achievable.

So Sweep Auburn and we are 8-13 with 9 games left and 6 games ahead of Auburn. Our remaining schedule is Texas A&M, @Alabama, Ole Miss. Win 3 of those 9 and we finish ahead of Auburn even if they win out because we have the tiebreaker. More realistic is we win 4 or 5 of those meaning 12 or 13 SEC wins. That is likely to get us to Hoover. Mizzou is currently 6-12 and play 12-6 Tennessee, 10-8 Moo State, and 9-9 South Carolina (and Auburn). They could easily get swept in two or 3 series. LSU simply has to win one more game than Mizzou to have that tiebreaker

Edit: I hit submit and had to edit to finish up my thoughts.
