HSVWarEagle 49 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 coin flip... here are the bylaws: http://www.secsports.com/article/11145479/sec-divisional-tie-breaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUcivE09 582 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Bama would go. "G" would be the tie breaker ---- they play TN and UK. We have Vandy/UGA and aTm has Mizzou/SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard on the drive yesterday that it would come down to the highest AP ranked team. Either way it seems like it will be a matter of luck and bad circumstance.

Either way we are behind the 8-ball. We really need aTm to lose along with handling our business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexava 6,973 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I think LSU turned the corner after we beat them. Maybe ole miss will too. Hopefully one or both of them will dispose of the Aggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Beavis 15 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I certainly don't want to get involved in a coin flip run by the SEC office that involves bama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Iff* my reading is correct, It’s too early to tell. Under the hypothetical scenario presented by OP, we founder at 3-way tiebreaker “G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents…” - Currently, UA has already beaten both their non-divisional opponents, who have (so far) accumulated 5 Conference losses (with 7 more combined Conference games yet to be played), - TAMU has already beaten both their non-divisional opponents, who have (so far) accumulated 6 Conference losses (with 6 more combined Conference games yet to be played), and - We have not yet played a non-divisional opponent, but those opponents have already accumulated 7 Conference losses, and have the potential of collecting (under OP assumptions) 5 more (besides us) before the season ends. At best, mathematically under OP hypotheticals, we can advance to “H. Coin flip of the tied teams with the team with the odd result being the representative.” Advantage – not us. Aside to Coach Orgeron – Good luck on finding stable employment. [and aside to Alexava – this is the "chicken" I find myself counting lately]. *Iff = math term meaning “if and only if.” Iff I’m wrong in my reading, please educate me.

eibua12 81 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 So let me get this straight Bama could go because of UK, smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTUmike 79 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Another way to look at it: For any of this to matter for Auburn, we obviously have to beat Vandy and UGA--running their combined conference record to 3-8. Since Alabama's East opponents still play one another, we can say their "current" record is 6-4 (adding a win and a loss to their combined record). Basically, Alabama's magic number is 3. So any combination of losses by UGA or Vandy (excluding losses to Auburn) and wins by Kentucky or Tennessee (excluding the UT-UK game) that equals 3 and we cannot win on that tie-breaker. Not looking good on that front. They'll probably clinch that tie breaker over AU this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnTiger4Life 2,225 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 If auburn beats Bama & A&M loses it doesn't matter. Auburn goes. If A&M wins out and we beat Bama, they go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our best bet is this. We'd go straight up which is the only option now. Auburn won't make it to a coin flip for us. Our east competition is easily weaker than A&M or Bama.
