Sec tie-breaker

[Franklin Pierce]

If LSU wins at home against A&M tomorrow, both teams will be 10-6, and will be 1-1 against each other this season.

What is the Tie-Breaker in this scenario? The winner of the tie-breaker will finish in the top 4 in the SEC, so this is very important to those teams.

Secsports.com has the rules for the tie-breaker. I've read them in the past, and I remember them as so complicated I'd never try to go through them here. Go take a look. Over-all record is a factor at some point, and I think the final resolution, if all the other qualifiers are the same, is to flip a coin.

The next tiebreaker is record versus number one seed on down the line until one team has won while the other has lost. If they go all the way through the list then the final tiebreaker is a coin flip by the commissioner.
This would mean that if LSU wins they would be the number four seed due to their win over Mississippi State a team that Texas A&M lost to. So A&M must win to be the number four seed.

So sad, Tennessee knows how Texas A&M feels.
