We're (Almost) SEC East champs!

[78]

Technically they don't. To control their own destiny, that would mean they're in if they win out. If they beat us and we still beat South Carolina, we're still in.

How does that work? This is giving me a headache.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Only thing I can figure '78 is Georgia beat Vandy so that would have us in a 3-way tie for first and somehow Georgia would hold the next tiebreaker.

Geeeze.

We could lose our next two games against Vandy and USC. Vandy could win out. We'd both have 3 losses. They'd have us head to head.

How hard is that? It's not like Rocket Surgery.

Are you just making fun of Crete now? They beat us, we beat USC. We would only have two losses. They would have three.

You're overlooking what his reply was to. ESPN has Georgia still in the running.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

None of this even matters, we're not going to lose to Vandy or South Carolina.

I think I need some sleep.

[QUOTE='78;n305176]

The problem may be in how it's being communicated. If we end up with identical records with Vandy, and they beat us, how does our win over SC vault us over Vandy? Head to head matters first. What am I missing? [/QUOTE]

We won't have identical records with Vandy if we beat South Carolina.

Currently:
Gators: 5-1
Vandy: 1-3

We would have to lose both our games and Vandy would have to win out, then we'd both be 5-3. We just need a win in either of the last two games to win the East.

OK. I guess that's right then. Ugly has tie breaker over Vandy, Vandy has tie breaker over us, we have tiebreaker over Ugly.

Yeah, I figured that out, unfortunately after I posted.

You're messing with me.

First, know what you're responding to. Second, I'll spell it out for you since people seem to be having a hard time figuring this out on their own.

UF = 5-1, beat UGA
UGA = 3-3, loss to UF, beat Vandy
Vandy = 1-3, loss to UGA

The hypothetical here is if UGA and Vandy win out and we lose out. The standing would look like this in the East:

UF = 5-3, beat UGA, loss to Vandy
UGA = 5-3, beat Vandy, loss to UF
Vandy = 5-3, beat UF, loss to UGA

So, yes, there would indeed be a 3-way tie for first and under this scenario I'm not sure what the next tiebreaker would be, but this is the scenario I'm guessing ESPN was referring to when '78 asked his question.

Is everyone on the same page now?

To make it easy:

If we beat Vandy or South Carolina then we are in because that would give us a maximum of 2 losses in the SEC when everyone else has 3.

OR

Vandy loses to one of their final 4 SEC teams then we are in because Vandy would have 4 SEC losses when the maximum number of losses we could have in the SEC is 3 and we would own the tie breakers with all other 3 SEC loss teams.

So basically 1 SEC win by us OR 1 SEC loss by Vandy and we clinch the SEC East.

I believe the tiebreaker is our ranking. SEC wants the highest ranked teams in the CG.

 

[Okeechobee Joe]

Vanderbilt just got horsewhipped by Houston 34 - 0. With Vandy and South Carolina left on the schedule there's almost not any "almost" SEC Champs about it.

Not sure, but I think wins in division comes before ranking. UF And ugly would be 4-2, how about Vandy?

 

[Zambo]

Here it is

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. Changed: Combined SEC record of the team’s cross-divisional opponents
