SEC Championship Scenarios

247 Article Explaining Scenarios
It’s a long shot for LSU. If UGA, Texas, and LSU win out, UGA & Texas will play for SEC Championship.
UGA has head-to-head vs Texas. So, the common opponent tie breaker would only apply to LSU/Texas. Texas would have that tie breaker over LSU b/c they would have beaten A&M.
I won’t be mad if this happens. LSU might get a home playoff game in this scenario.

Would be best case scenario

That’s not how tiebreakers work.
If Texas, Georgia and LSU end up tied at 7-1, then head to head and common opponents don’t resolve anything. It goes to conference opponent win percentage, and we would finish as the 1 seed.
You can’t say team a is above team b but don’t consider team c. The only way the tiebreaker works is if you can evaluate all teams in that tie breaker.

If two of the teams did play, The head-to-head tie breaker will trump common opponent tie breaker. Georgia beat Texas

It’s not a long shot if LSU wins out. I’m not going to go into each scenario but just know if we win out it’s highly likely we’re in Atlanta.

OM is going to beat UGA next weekend

You don’t apply head to head with Georgia/Texas because LSU played neither of them.

Dude the article you linked literally says that if Texas, Georgia and LSU won out, then it’s LSU vs Georgia.

I’ve found this site to be handy. Enter all the game results and it calculates standings with all applicable tiebreakers.

You absolutely apply a head-to-head tie breaker. What are you talking about? Texas cannot go over Georgia if they lost to Georgia.

You’re right. Did someone at 247 really write an article & not know this?

LSU will not win out.
Posted on 11/3/24 at 10:06 am to HappyTigerDay
I don't think he's got that right. With no divisions it all gets convoluted and gets into tie breakers etc. I think if we win out, were in based on conference win percentage

Sweet Link Tiger Phil, thanks.

They could as follows.
Let’s say we have LSU, Texas and Georgia tied.
1) 1st tiebreaker is head to head among teams. Only Texas and Georgia have played, so that one is not applied.
2) 2nd tiebreaker is record against common Conference opponents. Other than games won, none of us will have lost to the same team. Texas to Georgia (lsu doesn’t play Ga) LSU to A&M (Georgia doesn’t play A&M) and Georgia to Alabama (Texas doesn’t play Bama). So this one is also not applied.
3) 3rd tiebreaker is conference opponent record. Here, LSU will have the best opponent win %. This ranks LSU 1st And now you apply H2H w Tex/Ga
If Texas had the best opponent win percentage, they would go in over Georgia.

This writer is completely wrong. If three teams tied don’t all play one another, the head to head is taken out.
