On another thread someone said the winning percentage controls-- what's the real story?

If everybody plays eight conference games and eight is the requirement, then the total conference wins and the percentage of conference wins are the same thing just expressed differently.

If Tennessee pulled this crap I would be embarrassed. How can you face your team knowing you backed out of a game because you fear you will lose and it destroys your chance to win the east

I heard the men in the athletic department of LSU bent over backwards to host Florida in Baton Rouge but Florida declined. Apparently, the men of Florida are only interested in men who bend over forwards.

As per the SEC website and rulebook, the following determines the divisional winners of the SEC:

"The participants of the game are determined each year during the eight-game regular-season conference schedule as the teams with the best overall SEC winning percentage in each division."

Got to have 8 games. If they don't, they don't get to go.

Lawgator and 99, please take this rule from the SEC to the Florida forums and post a thread on it. Since everyone over there still thinks they back in by not playing this would be an enjoyable meltdown.

Florida slow played the info to their advantage so well Corleone would be impressed. You can bet that if the SEC regs said that if you can't host or move a game to get the game played due to weather the home team gets a forfeit loss the braintrust in Gainesville would've moved fast Tuesday. I call it a unethical act....smart, but unethical.

I have not seen this anywhere else except in this post. Other sources say that it is based on winning percentage.

I found this


Here's the division championship rule from the SEC: [SEC Bylaw 30.22.1.3] "The Conference champion will be determined by a game between the two division champions. The team in each division with the highest percentage of wins during all regular season Conference competition will be declared division champion. If two or more teams are tied with the highest percentage of wins, they will be declared division co-champions. Division standings will be calculated on a percentage basis, using only those Conference games which are a part of the regular rotating schedule." So a potential 6-1 UF team or 6-1 LSU team could win their divisions if other teams have two or more losses. But they have to actually do that first

Imo this virtually seals LSU's fate as being out of seccg, but there is a lot of football to play so time will tell. The west is not the east, it was in LSU's best interest to get the game in. LSU even offered to even play in an empty stadium, but it is what it is.

If the SEC is going to use percentages for "all or 8" games I don't know how you can get a true "percentage" if a team only plays 7 games.

All of this will be moot anyway. The Florida Chicken Lizards will lose to Arkansas and probably Georgia. UT will at least pick up one of the next two. I'm just enjoying this because it makes Florida look like a bunch of cowards.

Move the Florida/Georgia game up a week to the 22nd (instead of 29th) since both teams have a bye on the 22nd. LSU has open date on 29th and could play Florida if they would move the FL/GA game up a week

I thought I read somewhere that a team has to have so many SEC games played to be eligible for the title game? Which makes sense to keep teams from scheduling an extra cupcake to bump up the wins.

I could be wrong though.

Sorry but after LSU went out of its way to try and get this game in and UF went out of its way to delay any decisions until they could claim it was too late they should be forced to forfeit. There is no way UF should get in the seccg game if they would be 6-1 and we are 6-2. But then again the conference leadership is basically a joke and would probably go out of their way to get florida in. Heck I could see them making excuses to let a 6-2 UF in over a 6-2 UT with the excuse that the second loss was because of extreme circumstances and they won the first half against us lol.
