I asked Grok how it would be possible for there to be 7 SEC teams with a 6-3 conference record at the end of the regular season, so here goes:

Georgia loses to Florida and to Ole Miss; beats Missouri and South Carolina ? 6-3

Kentucky loses to Tennessee and to Florida; beats Vanderbilt and Missouri ? 6-3

Tennessee loses to Texas A&M and to LSU; beats South Carolina, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt ? 6-3

Ole Miss loses to Texas and to Oklahoma; beats Auburn, Georgia, and Mississippi State ? 6-3

Alabama loses only to LSU; beats Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, and Auburn ? 6-3

Florida loses only to Georgia; beats Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt ? 6-3

LSU loses only to Auburn; beats Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, and Arkansas ? 6-3


I'm not saying likely, but this seams plausible at least (I think Vandy is 0-9 this way, too, )

I’m in favor of whatever makes Sankey look like the biggest arse at this point, so hopefully that happens.


There’s about to be some serious suspicious calls in the coming weeks.

Your scenario is flawed. you have Florida and Georgia both losing to each other.

"Georgia loses to Florida and to Ole Miss"
"Florida loses only to Georgia"

AI is like that hot young intern, looks good, but the work ain't always quality.

You could’ve just used this standings generator. Simulate the results of every game or pick the winners you want. I picked realistic winners here and came up with a scenario where 7 SEC teams finish 6-3 and one of them would be in the SECCG. How many 9 win SEC teams would make the playoff is the question? If only the SEC champion made it then yes, Sankey should be fired on the spot.

You want something even wilder?

Here’s a scenario where there’s a 9-way tie for the SEC champion. LSU would be the regular season champion and play in Atlanta.

Isn’t a bunch of teams tied at 7-2 more realistic?

LSU 7-2
Tennessee 7-2
UGA 7-2
Ole Miss 7-2
Kentucky 7-2

Yeah, I see that now. The initial run had a lot of that. I thought it was cleaned up. Back to the ole drawing board...

Maybe?

Georgia loses to Ole Miss and to South Carolina ? finishes 6-3 (beats Florida and Missouri)
Kentucky loses to Tennessee and to Florida ? finishes 6-3 (beats Vanderbilt and Missouri)
Tennessee loses to Texas A&M and to LSU ? finishes 6-3 (beats South Carolina, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt)
Ole Miss loses to Texas and to Oklahoma ? finishes 6-3 (beats Auburn, Georgia, and Mississippi State)
Alabama loses only to LSU ? finishes 6-3 (beats Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, and Auburn)
Florida loses only to Georgia ? finishes 6-3 (beats Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt)
LSU loses only to Auburn ? finishes 6-3 (beats Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, and Arkansas)

This does look plausible - as does Bama at 7-2 (if they defeat LSU).

My scenario has LSU winning out. If they lose to Bama, then they probably lose to Tennessee too.

It’s also likely that UK/Tenn, or UGA/Ole Miss finish 8-1
