Win out, win East division???

Actually I think the easiest road for this to happen would be...

1. Vols win out
2. Georgia loses to Auburn
3. South Carolina loses to Mizzou
4. Florida loses to Georgia and USC
5. Mizzou loses to us and Florida

I think this would leave a 3 way tie between Vols, Georgia, and USC and we might win the tiebreaker I think.

Would that be a 4 way tie with Mizzou as well. Them with two losses? Too late to think it out and confirm

Would love it if a team member from 1980 USA HOCKEY TEAM came in and gave pre-game speech.

Just getting a vibe...

Not true. Let's just say Mizzou beats Florida and USC. We beat USC and Mizzou. UF beats UGA. USC beats UF. We win out. That's a 5 team tie and it would have to go to some absurd tiebreaker that wouldn't rely on BCS ranking. So while some formula would have to be generated, we would have just as even chance of making it to Atlanta as the other 4 teams.

educate me here, does winning out ensure the division title, or only present a mathmatic possibility?

We win out & both Missouri, GA & FL have to lose again. If more than 2 teams end in a tie then the highest ranked team in the group gets the nod!

There's always a chance.

Best Case Scenario would be we win every game remaining on the schedule. (That's gonna be tough).

Realistic best case scenario would be to win every game except against Alabama.

Realistic scenario is to beat UK & Vandy and pull off one or two against SCAR, Mizzou, and/or Auburn.

I'm not going in to worst case scenarios....

So yea, lets hope for the best.

No you guys are still wrong. Georgia & Florida has to lose TWICE more on top of UT winning out. However, if UT beats both SCjr and Mizzu and all 4 have a tie, I haven't a clue what the tie breaker is.

I love the vols. I bleed orange but I must offer the OP a short snippet of advice.

Don't piss into the wind dude....probably not going to work out well for you.

If more than 3 teams are tied, the highest ranking is the last tiebreaker after it gets widdled down to two teams. There are 7 different tiebreaker scenarios if more than 3 teams tie.

I hate to say I don't GAF about winning the SEC east BUT beat Bama and I don't GAF about winning the east.

I was factoring in reality. Is there a mathematic possibility, yes. Realistic possibility? Virtually none.

Odds are against it but if you really think it through... I doubt there is any way UT can do better than tie for the East... and lose the tie breaker.

I think simply winning our schedule out is more probable than the domino of events that would have to unfold regarding other teams for us to win the east. So highly HIGHLY unlikely.

No, this would top that easily.

I know it would, I was just using that as an example. Nobody expected us to win the East after getting trounced by Florida in the swamp, and then some things went our way and we secured a spot in Atlanta. Not to mention LSU being the first ever 2 loss National Championship team. Weird season of college football.

First thing that came to mind when I saw the thread title

UF and UGA absolutely must lose 3 SEC games along with UT winning out. No way around that. Then Mizzou MUST lose 2. Mizzou losing two is feasible, but I don't see UF and UGA losing 3 each.

If we win out then this is the best case scenario

Mizzou loses to Texas A&M and us but beats Florida and USC (2 SEC Loss, we have tie breaker)
USC loses to us and Mizzou (2 SEC Loss, we have tie breaker) but beats Florida (3 SEC Losses)
UGA loses to Auburn and Florida(3 SEC Losses)


As we are the currently lowest ranked of these teams I don't see a way we win the last tie breaker of highest BCS rating, there just isn't enough time to make up that much ground even with a win over Alabama so we have to beat out Florida and UGA by one game.
