4 way tie at the top?

Hmm, wouldn't Texas be knocked out first, though, by rule 1? "Head-to-head competition among the tied teams"

If we're all 11-1 (7-1 SEC), then the head-to-head among these four would be:
-- Vols 1-1 (beat Bama, lost to UGa)
-- Bama 1-1 (beat UGa, lost to Vols)
-- UGa 1-1 (lost to Bama, beat Vols)
-- Texas 0-1 (only played UGa, a loss)

And 0-1 is worse than 1-1. So eliminate Texas and start over with the tie-breakers, right?

Then quickly get to rule 4, as you say.

There's a lot more football to be played, but as of today, the order would be: Bama (record of all SEC opponents combined is 4-5, a .444 win rate), then Tennessee (4-8, a .333 win rate), and then UGa (3-8, a .273 win rate).

As of today, Tennessee's conference schedule (OK, Arky, FL, KY, Miss St, and Vandy, plus of course UGa and Bama, the two we'd be tied with) is harder than UGa's (KY, Auburn, Miss St, Texas, FL, and Ole Miss, plus the tied two). Heh.

So we and Bama would go to Atlanta, while UGa and Texas would stay home. Using results as of today.

Go Vols!

UGA would be 2-1 when comparing head to head. Once team(s) are eliminating it goes back to 1 for those still left so, we would have the tiebreaker against Bama.

What happens if this happens;
We go 11-1, loss to UGA
Bama, 1 loss, to VOLS
Texas, 1 loss, to UGA
UGA, 1 loss, to Bama

This is CRAZY! Who would go the SECCG and how would all 4 teams be seeded in the playoffs?

Georgia has wins over 2 of the 4, so they’re probably the highest ranked (and most deserving). Not sure if that matters. But for tiebreakers, I’d say they hold the most. For the 2nd spot, Tennessee would hold a tiebreaker over Alabama, and I don’t think Texas would have any tiebreaker. So I’m guessing, but not sure, that it would be Georgia versus Tennessee.

The loser of the SEC championship game is definitely in a 12 team playoff.

I still think the loser of the SEC CG is screwed. Because they have to play that game and they don’t earn a bye in the playoff. The 3rd place SEC team is much better off. Because the championship game week becomes essentially a bye.

Not necessarily.

LSU is still undefeated in conference play and their schedule is pretty favorable. They could lose to Ole Miss but beat everyone else and make it to Atl with only 1 conference loss and 2 losses overall. In that scenario, I doubt they finish in the top 12 with 3 losses.

How would UGa be 2-1 when they don't play all 3 others? In this scenario, they lose to Bama and beat us, but they don't play Texas. So they would be 1-1, just like the Vols and Bama. Right?

UGA does play all 3, reread what you posted, TX was 0-1 because they lost to UGA.

Oh yeah, my bad. Heh, thanks.

So 2-1 UGa gets first spot in Atlanta, while 0-1 Texas is eliminated from the tie. Then Bama and Vols are left, we re-start the tie-breaker rules, and Vols get advantage for beating Bama head-to-head. Ends up the Vols and Dawgs in Atlanta in December.

I like it!

If SOS comes into play, does it count team’s ranking at time of play (#25 NC St) or ranking at time of decision (#96 NC St)?

Reading through all the steps I can tell Birmingham will need a rocket scientist to figure it out, wonder if Dobbs will be busy?

1. UGA (2-1) record
2. Vols (1-1) record and beat bama head to head
3. Bama (1-1) loss to VOLS
4. TX (0-1)

I think!

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:

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

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

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

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

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

6.Random draw of the tied teams

You missed something.
1. Alabama.
