So Tennessee is now tied with Florida for 3rd in the SEC east. So if I'm understanding correctly, 3 things now have to happen for Tennessee to make it to Atlanta:

#1: We need to win out, obviously.

#2: Florida needs to drop one more SEC game: Missouri or Arkansas or LSU. Seems reasonably likely this will happen.

#3: Georgia needs to lose to either Ole Miss or Missouri. They are now entering the toughest stretch of the season, but if they win both of those games they lockup a trip to Atlanta even if we beat them, right?

Am I missing anything? Seems like it would be a reach for all of this to go our way, but certainly within the realm of possibility.

Technically we don’t need Florida to lose again. Although it would make things easier obviously. But if Georgia was to lose 1 of the ole miss or mizz… and we win out it would be a 3 way tie for the East…

I prefer Florida lose another game and I would say that is likely with their schedule. But the main thing is Tennessee take care of business. We have to play one at a time and we have to keep improving. We can’t afford any letdowns. GBO

If UGA’s other loss was Mizzou, I think we’d own the tie breaker since both of UGA & UF’s losses would be to East teams and one of our losses came from the West.

The big thing I am leaning on is I still have not seen the team put it all together for a complete game. Last night, offense looked better (except our red zone issues), but the defense had issues with QB pressure and DB coverage.

Man, if we could put all of it together for 60 minutes.

Some folks are forgetting that it is possible for there to be a three-way tie in the East involving Missouri, Georgia and Tennessee. If Missouri wins all their remaining games, except for the Tennessee game, this could be an outcome. In that case, I'm not sure what the tiebreakers would be, since Missouri and Tennessee would both have one loss in the East.

With a loss to Georgia, FLORIDA IS IRRELEVANT.

We need Georgia to lose to Ole Miss AND we need to win out. That’s it….

The tie breaker in 3 teams go to head to head. If we win out and Georgia has 2 losses even if Florida wins out, it ends up like this:

Tennessee 1-1, Georgia 1-1, Florida 1-1

If that is the case, it goes to the division records in which Georgia and Tennessee would be the two out of the 3 with 5-1 records and then it goes to the head to head there.

Georgia 6-2 / 5-1 in Division
Tennessee 6-2 / 5-1 in Division with head to head win over UGA
Florida 6-2 / 4-2 in Division

It’s confusing and I’m not sure about this but I think UGA would be out of the tie with 2 Eastern losses and the tiebreaker between Tennessee and Missouri would come down to head-to-head results

a three team tiebreaker goes to the highest ranked team as it doesn’t matter if you lose to west or east opponent.


UGA would probably be ranked ahead of us.



Edit- I was incorrect, so my apologies as the SEC changed the tiebreaker rules.

No, just being real. I know what I see. 8-9 wins with this team is a very good season

This is fake news. A three team tie breaker goes to the following:

Head to head record among the 3 tied teams. If all 3 are tied, it then goes to division record.


You are literally making stuff up without knowing what you are talking about.

The best scenario is
Mizz beats UGA
Tennessee wins out
Florida drops to LSU or even Arkansas.
Tennessee would hold the tie breaker to both, UGA and, MIZZ if they all have 2 sec losses as Tennessee beat them both Head to Head.

No it doesn’t anymore. That was the old system from the BCS era.

That spot in the tiebreaker now goes as follow:

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.);

H. Coin flip of the tied teams.

I don’t think he’s making stuff up. I think he’s just confused and referencing the situation that happened in 2003 between Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida and how it played out with the rules in place at that time.

Looked up some Vegas numbers. UGA is favored by 19.5 and 14.5 vs MU and Ole Miss. Both games in Athens. They didn’t seem to miss Bowers much like i thought they might vs UF.
But, at least for now, we are technically still alive for the East.

Kiffin is the only coach on their schedule I trust to even come close to beating Kirby
