Title: According to Griffith, this win clinches... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on February 24, 2018, 09:28:26 EST ...a top 4 seed and a double-bye in the SECT. Not sure how he arrived at that conclusion given how bunched-up the league is right now, but I guess I'll take his word for it. Great news if true. :thumbup:

I have no idea how to unravel all those tiebreakers at this point, so I'll just trust in Griffith and hope he's right. :dunno: Title: Re: According to Griffith, this win clinches...

We can eliminate MSU Tuesday night. Title: Re: According to Griffith, this win clinches... Post by: BanditVol on February 25, 2018, 02:06:54 EST If Mizzou beats UK tonight, there will still be potentially three teams in the running that win the tiebreaker with us...Arkansas, Mizzou, and Miss State. we would have to drop our last two (which would give MSU the tie break) and they would all have to win out. I think UK handles Mizzou and Arkansas still has to play Auburn.
But the reason it's a clinch is because Arkansas and Mizzou play each other next week, so one will lose no matter what. :biggrin: One more win and we lock down the no. 2 seed.

Beating them down there will be a tall order.

There are 4 teams at 9-7 Only 2 of which could finish ahead of us: Hawgs & MSU We own the tie breaker over the other 2: crocs & whinycats Scenarios: As long as we split the final 2 games we finish 2nd If we lose both, probably finish 3rd Win both (& pick-a-nicknames lose both) we finish 1st |
