I won't consider it locked down until the seccg ends.

Bingo. I had a late edit but you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Records being the same, you have to take the winner of the bigger game.

I never liked the idea of giving a beaten team another chance to win at a higher-stakes game against the same opponent. All to familiar with Alabama getting another chance at us 4 years ago. Basically saying regular games don't mean sh*t in the rankings. That being said you have a very unique set of events and it's hard to pick a better team out of the SEC-E than Florida. I think in situations like this they should give the winner of the previous game home-field advantage or something in the game. It's a stretch, I know - just saying.

To be very fair here, Florida would have won the East and the chanpion of divisions plays in the overall championship, so they would have earned their way. This is nothing like the Bama situation when they just sat at home as the #2 team in the SEC west and watched us whip a really good Georgia team, and still stroll right into the NCG.

This happens all the time in other sports. Not a big deal.
