A tie atop the list, be it among four or five or six or seven or eight teams, would trigger the SEC?s thick list of tiebreaking procedures, the uppermost of which involve common opponents for all parties, unworkable in terms of disentangling the eight-way knot. Eventually, the procedure would figure to reach its No. 4 method, the aggregate record of all conference opponents. At that point, an unusual question would surface: Did you play Mississippi State? If you did, as have or will Tennessee, Texas A&M, Texas, Georgia, Missouri and Mississippi, you?re at a disadvantage because of Mississippi State?s difficult year as winless in the conference, 0-6 at the moment. If you played Mississippi State as well as two of the three teams with one conference win, as have Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Mississippi, you?re out of tiebreaking luck. Only one of the eight teams would have eight conference opponents with an aggregate winning record, and only one other would have its eight opponents come within a game of .500. That would be Alabama and LSU, which on Dec. 7 in Atlanta, after the untangling of the eight, would stage a rematch of the Crimson Tide?s throttling of the Tigers on Nov. 9 in Baton Rouge. In a post-realignment world of crowded conferences with 18, 18, 17 and 16 teams, how SEC of the SEC it would be to present all this parity and then have the math usher Alabama and LSU right on back to the top. Quite frankly, other matches would be more interesting. Sheesh. Title: Re: So, according to this article, Bama and LSU could end up playing in the SECCG...
