If Texas finishes 7-1 that means they beat aggie. IDK if common opponent is the tie breaker, but if so, it would be Texas.

Probably Texas as they would have better record vs common opponent, particularly aTm

We have more than one common opponent

Pretty sure it would be LSU vs Texas. Who else would it be?

And if we both finish 7-1, they will have lost to none of them.

Could have Texas/a&m winner, Georgia/tenn winner and LSU all at 7-1. In that situation, LSU needs a 7-1 a&m. If Texas wins and Georgia wins I think they play since Georgia would have head to head over Texas and Texas has win over the team that beat LSU. If Tennessee wins then I think they might go since they beat Georgia but LSU did beat Arkansas. frick I have no idea except a&m needs to win out if LSU wants a guaranteed spot.

LINK


You can do different combinations of game results and see standings here. If LSU and Texas win out and all the rest of the games go chalk, it would be LSU and UGA based on opponent win percentage

This post is woefully short on context.

If each are the only 7-1 teams they both go.

If Texas and LSU are 7-1, that means, at best, there would be only 3 teams with 7-1 records: Texas, LSU, Georgia/Tenn. If it’s UGA it’s likely LSU gets in via a 3-team tie breaker scenario

UGA beat Texas. Texas would have common opponent tie breaker over LSU. It would be UGA vs Texas

Why wouldn’t we play Texas in the championship game?

Edit: I see someone posted about

That's not how it works. In a multiteam tiebreaker situation, that level of tiebreaker only accounts for head to head if all tied teams played all tied teams, which would not be applicable because LSU played neither Texas or Georgia. Next it would proceed to record versus common opponents of all tied teams which would be only Florida as they are the only team to play all of Texas LSU and Georgia. Because this scenario assumes both Texas and LSU beat Florida, it would proceed to the final tiebreaker being the cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents of the tied teams, likely ending with LSU as the top team.

You are missing common opponent Alabama, which under your scenario we would have won and they lost to.

Alabama and Vanderbilt will be tough to beat. I don’t see LSU beating both of them. LSU is Ann 8-4 or 7-5 team.

Lsuhoohoo, if that link is correct, and I think it is, LSU controls their own destiny. I’ve tried every combination with the exception of total collapse by a team, and LSU shows up in the top two every time
