Our path to the East as of week 10

[JMSqb11]

Wtf are you talking about? If Florida beats Tennessee, Tennessee beats Georgia , and Georgia beats Florida and they all have 1 conference loss and finish the season 11-1 it will come down to the rankings. The coaches may vote but they will vote for the highest ranked team in the playoff poll. There is no head to head or anything related to any division but the east in this scenario.

You are not smart. Florida has lost to Georgia and Kentucky. Tennessee has lost Bama and Florida. In a scenario where Georgia loses to Mizzou and Tennessee, we win on the second tiebreaker given the 5-1 division record vs Georgia’s and Florida’s 4-2. If Georgia loses to Ole Miss and Tennessee, we win on the second tiebreaker of division record + head to head with Georgia because Florida is eliminated with a 4-2 division record vs Tennessee/Georgia’s 5-1….

Once again, you simply don’t know what you’re talking about.

 

[JMSqb11]

If we win out and Georgia loses another SEC game, then we win the SEC east. It's really that simple. If we don't win out, then it doesn't matter. I guess Florida needs to lose another SEC game, but that should be fairly easy.

Wrong. Florida is irrelevant.

My scenario is hypothetical like any realistic chance we have of winning the east. You’re saying there’s no scenario where rankings would ever matter.

In reality, rankings don’t matter in determining who wins a tiebreaker between 3 teams this year if it happens.

In fantasy land, there is no tie breaker in a 3 team scenario where rankings determine who wins.

I’m not sure why this is so hard to understand.

 

[Mtnvol80]

Rankings never matter. If it's a tie it'll go off the west opponents records. If bama, ole miss and lsu end in a 3 way tie ole miss is screwed cause of vandy

 

[cgrish]

I don't see Mo. beating Ga. at Ga. If it was at Mo. could be a very close game. And it will be very difficult for us to beat Mo. on their home field.

Georgia is not losing to crummy mizzou so we can throw out that second option. It won’t even be close

 

[Johnnyreb#VFL]

Although I don’t agree with you, I’ll defend to my death your right to say it. I think we’re a bad matchup for mizzou who gives up 300+ yards passing/150 rushing per game

 

[volfan102455]

We just need to win out and see what happens. Let's start that winning today!

So who advances to the seccg in my scenario? Three teams that have 1 loss and have beaten each other.

Look forward to you citing Rankings as a tiebreaker!

Friend, rankings stopped being part of the SEC tie-breaker rules about a decade ago. You're remembering the old rules.

Here's the current version: SEC Divisional Tie-Breaker

 

[TrueOrange]

So who advances to the seccg in my scenario? Three teams that have 1 loss and have beaten each other.

Here’s how the SEC solves 3-way tiebreakers now (since the BCS ended in 2013 and the CFP started):

2. Three-Team Tie (or more): If three teams (or more) are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order: (Note: If one of the procedures results in one team being eliminated and two remaining, the two-team tiebreaker procedure as stated in No. 1 above will be used):

A. Combined head to head record among the tied teams;

B. Record of the tied teams within the division;

C. Head to head competition against the team within the division with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through the division (multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place);

D. Overall Conference record against non divisional teams;

E. Combined record against all common non divisional teams;

F. Record against the common non divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through other common non divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division; and

G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents (Note: If two teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, then the two-team tiebreaker procedures apply. If four teams are tied, and three teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, the three-team tiebreaker procedures will be used beginning with 2.A.);

Example (Western 1 would be the representative)

TIED TEAMS	NON-DIVISIONAL OPPONENTS CUMULATIVE RECORD
Western 1	Eastern Opponents: 14-2
Western 2	Eastern Opponents: 12-4
Western 3	Eastern Opponents: 8-8

H. Coin flip of the tied teams with the team with the odd result being the representative (Example: If there are two teams with tails and one team with heads, the team with heads is the representative).

Florida down

Mizzou up 7-3 early

I thought this thread was wacko yesterday lol

Not sure why. Florida could win out and they would be irrelevant to our chances in the East

 

[CR-vol]

You're assuming we win out? I think that's wacko. I would love to see it but not going to happen.

 

[JMSqb11]

Just so everyone is clear as of now (as Georgia scores to go 10-7 vs Mizzou), a Mizzou win over Georgia means we, Tennessee, control our fate in the SEC East

 

[99gator]

The SEC just passed a rule that any team that loses to the 2023 Florida Gators is ineligible to play for the SEC championship.

Still sold on Napier?

Still sold on Napier?

I abandoned ship after the Kentucky game this season. My only hope is he leaves the cupboard full.

But, he's not the guy

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Well, two good things and one bad thing happened concerning our path to the SEC CG today.

Florida eliminated themselves from consideration. And we advanced.

The thing that didn't happen was UGa didn't lose today.

That means we're down to brass tacks. Next weekend, two things MUST happen or UGa locks up the East: we have to beat Mizzou, of course ... and Ole Miss has to beat Georgia.

Anything short of that, and the door to Atlanta slams shut for us.

Go Vols!

 

[barney]

Why does the SEC still have us tied with Florida? We are tied with Missouri now you ****s

It doesn’t matter. Florida was irrelevant to our East chances coming into the weekend and they are still irrelevant to our chances in the East

 

[KTrain]

You're assuming we win out? I think that's wacko. I would love to see it but not going to happen.

I said that in 2007 and then there we were in the SECC with 2 Conference losses and 1 OOC loss. Probably won't happen even if we win out UGA has to lose to Ole Miss at home.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

People on here are all up in arms when it’s very simple. We need…
1) to win out
2) UGA to lose to Ole Miss

There’s no need to worry about rankings, coaches voting, etc. It’s as simple as that. With Florida and Mizzou losing today, we have a very simple path as long as we take care of business and get some help from Kiffin.

Georgia winning today is only half bad because Mizzou choked that game away. They had the ball and were driving and literally did the dumbest thing ever with the pick to the big man.

Mizzou should be dejected from this so I like our chances on the road.

Also I can’t say I’m mad I have to cheer for the Lane Train next week. Thank goodness they won today because I think had Ole Miss choked away their big lead and lost to A&M, they’d be sleep walking into Athens.
