What has to happen?

[bUTchLookin4Dimez]

Mathematically it is still possible to finish high in the east. It is also mathematically possible to win the east (pipe dream, yes). But, has anyone looked at the remaining schedules of the other teams to determine what has to happen for that to be the case? After our losses to Georgia and Florida it didn't look possible, but now that everyone has 2 or more losses in the east (excluding Missouri), anything is possible. My question is how do the cards have to fall to finish 1st or 2nd in the east.

We must first and foremost win out. This will be the most difficult

Then, we need South Carolina to beat Missouri & Florida.

Then, we need Georgia to lose to Auburn.

It will be extremely difficult to finish second. I guess we could finish tied for second with Florida and Georgia.

We obviously would have to win out, not likely. But if SC can beat Mizzou, SC needs to beat UF to give them 3 losses then we need UF to beat GA to give them 3. Then we beat Mizzou and us and Mizzou have 2 SEC losses along with SC thenand we get the tie breaker by beating both of them. Prob have a better chance at winning the lottery but mathematically its still possible.Plus GA plays AU and Mizzou would finish with Ole Miss and A'M. Hardest part is us winning all of the next 3 and 2I of those on the road. Highly unlikely. If we had beaten GA it would have been a shade more possible.

After seeing what happened this weekend, anything is possible, but im definatly not marking a "W" on any of our remaining games. We didnt really play all that good Saturday and still got the win, we need to play more consistently better..."almost" against UGA and a win against the cocks is great, but we cant let up and have to get better each week because right now, Kentucky looks like the only probable win, and they will play us hard too. We have very little room for error.

You left off hell freezing over and balancing the federal budget.

All good comments. Thanks for the insight. I don't see us winning out, but I won't say it's not possible. This week will be the lowest chance we have of winning. I don't think AU and Mizz are what they're cracked up to be. Mizz got a beat up Georgia team and a sinking ship in Florida. Auburn is the better of the 2, but I still think if A&M had Manziel for 4 full quarters they would've got the W.

Well at least it's fun to think about. Something we haven't even contemplated for years..

Win out and have a three way tie with any combo but UGA and UF and I believe we go as we would be highest ranked

I think

that UGA loss hurts so much 2 weeks later. I still don't think we would have won the east but we'd be sitting at 5-2 with a great shot at 7-8 wins and some incredible momentum. Still, I think this season has been successful thus far all things considered. I'm happy with it at this point. I truly think the Vols beat Mizzou or Auburn

I think your right we will split AU an Mizz. If that is the case add wins over the cats and candy. The result is a lot of bricks by team 117.
