Regular season:

Texas (loss: Georgia)
Georgia (Bama) or Tenn (Ark)
A&M (Tex)
LSU (A&M)
Missouri (A&M)

This is just one possibility. Could be others.?

Vandy would mess up the scenario if they won out

Then do the LSU or Vandy line like the Tenn/UGA line

ETA: never mind. They play Texas and others. It would still be funny.

Going to be an interesting tie breaker. Can the SEC create divisions for scheduling purposes, and use winning your division as a tie breaker? If the top 2 teams for division A each have 1 SEC loss, and the top team in division B has 3 losses, then the 2 from A rematch in the championship game. If B team has 1 loss, and there's no head to head, then both division winners play

They still play Texas Tenn and LSU…too close to QBA memories at that point

8-4 with losses to Missouri and LSU seems pretty realistic based on what we’ve see from them this season.

This seems a little cray so bring divisions back but rotate teams based on previous conference performance over a 3 year period to help prevent 1 strong division and 1 shite division.

Tie Breaker rules

https://www.secsports.com/news/2024/08/sec-announces-football-tie-breaking-process

In the event of a tie between teams competing for a place in the Conference championship game, the following procedures will be used in descending order until the tie is broken:

A. Head-to-head competition among the tied teams

B. Record versus all common Conference opponents among the tied teams

C. Record against highest (best) placed common Conference opponent in the Conference standings, and proceeding through the Conference standings among the tied teams

D. Cumulative Conference winning percentage of all Conference opponents among the tied teams

E. Capped relative total scoring margin versus all Conference opponents among the tied teams

F. Random draw of the tied teams

If the regular season standings determine a clear Conference champion and two or more teams are tied for second place, the Conference champion will be the home team in the Championship Game and the tiebreaking procedures will be used to determine its opponent.

If a tiebreaker step produces standings with two teams tied for first place in the Conference, both will qualify for the championship game. To decide the seeding of the two teams, both will progress through the two-team tiebreaker procedures until the tie is broken, which will determine home/away designation for the SEC Championship Game.

Would Georgia end up with no head-to-head losses in the group? And if Tenn ends up in the Tenn & Texas have no head-to-head losses in this group.

Of course, none of that will matter when LSU wins next Saturday.

That was one of my questions too. So it would be advantageous to lose to a presumably weaker opponent.
