I think the SEC ultimately cancels both LSU games

LSU doesn't currently have a product worth putting on the field

I agree

We might frick around and go 4-4

should have waited to start like the big 10 and pac 12 did ... Look, Coach O is in bed with hot women and posting all his exploits so players are going to follow that lead ..go to halloween parties for chicks and booze ...get covid , season over ... D U M B ...

Coach O lost control/respect of this team weeks ago. He needs to start acting his age and stop chasing these women. TRASHY!!

Got my vote, big man!

Could easily do that.

We go 4-4, win the bowl game. Finish 5-4 with a New Orleans bowl ring!

I think the end of the season is in serious jeopardy right now. Once hospitals start getting overwhelmed again they will shut everything down in a heartbeat.

Let’s think it out- Scott Woodward mentioned that in the case 2 games get nixed due to covid, the game that’s more relevant to the conference championship takes precedence.

If we’re at the end of the season and Florida has 1 loss and Alabama has none, both of them would prefer not to play and considering LSU is the common denominator, how on earth do you fairly tell Alabama or Florida they have to play and the other doesnt?

He said the game that’s more relevant to the standings will take precedent. Which is a minor distinction, but worth pointing out because UF and Bama are in opposite divisions.

In a “normal” year with an 8-game conference schedule, only teams who “have played and completed all eight scheduled conference games” are eligible for the division title. I haven’t been able to find what the SEC’s new policy is for the 10-game COVID season, but if they stuck with the previous rule, 8-2 UGA would go to Atlanta over a 7-1 UF team that beat UGA head-to-head.

Further, it would mean that if Bama and UF both had games against LSU postponed, whichever team didn’t play LSU would not be eligible to compete for the SEC championship.

I have to assume the SEC considered this possibility, so what happens if they dropped the requirement that teams play all scheduled conference games?

Florida has a 1-game lead over UGA plus the head-to-head tiebreaker, but UGA has the easier remaining schedule. If Florida drops a game between now and 12/12, they will both have two losses. Here’s where things get interesting: by rule, the division title is actually determined by winning percentage. This means that 8-2 UGA (80%) would win the division over 7-2 UF (78%) even though UF beat UGA head-to-head. It wouldn’t go to the head-to-head tiebreaker, because it’s not a tie.

The Big 10 accounted for this in their rules by saying that if two teams have the same number of losses but different numbers of games played, it goes to the head-to-head tiebreaker. But I’m not sure whether the SEC did the same.

Lastly, even if the SEC did account for that possibility, you can bet that UGA will be raising hell if Florida has the same number of losses but didn’t have to play LSU. I think the chances of neither game (UF or Bama) being played are slim to none.
