Thanks for giving the real scenario.
Lesson learned here...


Everyone makes mistakes. I wish we only needed Tenn to lose 1. That would be great!

LSU's best scenario right now is:

LSU wins out. (duh)

Tennessee loses out (@AUB and vs Missouri - both very possible)

UGA lose at least 1 game (@Bama and vs Kentucky - very, very likely)

In this scenario, LSU would receive the 6 seed.


If LSU wins out and Tennessee wins one of two, LSU could get stuck in the 8 seed. If Tennessee wins one of two, AND Arkansas somehow loses at home to Texas A&M then we would be the 7 seed, behind Tennessee but ahead of Arkansas. We do not want to be in a three way tie with Tenn and Ark. We lose that scenario.

If there's only a 2 way tie with Arky with us both being 10-8 wouldn't we then be the #7 seed?

Arky will win at home (10-8)
Georgia loses last 2 (8-10)
Tenn. wins last 2 (11-7)
LSU wins out (10-8)

So by calculations

Mizzou, Ole Piss, Gumps, and Vols are in four way tie for 3rd place leaving LSU and Arky in 2 way tie for 7th and LSU holds tiebreaker.
