Scenario: tnis game is played. Florida loses. They have two losses. Tennessee winds up only losing two as. They still have tiebreaker over UF. Lsu wins out, but bama only has loss to us. They're 7-1 and we're 6-1. Bama has higher winning %

Got it now. Great strategy by Florida, but they should have never been allowed to pull that shite....hurricane, or not. I hope we get a reschedule and mess their plan and season up worse than Matthew will.

But does that automatically mean Bama wins the tie-breaker? Really, there is no rule addressing the situation. The first tiebreaker would be who won in a head-to-head matchup. That would be LSU in this scenario. To stick Bama in ahead of LSU would be writing a rule into the tiebreaker rules that doesn't currently exist.
