if its lsu and auburn then we have to be over 5 spots ahead of them because they have the h2h.

the bcs rankings only matter with a tie.

Auburn has to be the first of the three teams eliminated for us to go to the SEC Championship game. If they split their last two games the loss must be to Bama.

let me try.... If Ark. loses to Tenn. and LSU. Then AUB. Loses to GA.
LSU would have to Pass them both in the BCS rankings. (I think LSU would pass them both)
Now. If ARk. Loses to Tenn. and LSU. Then Aub. loses to Bama It comes down to a tiebreaker that LSU wins cause Aubbies have 2 losses in the West. and LSU beats Ark straight up. Hope this helps and not confuse people any further

Correct. But LSU would have to be more than 5 SPOTS higher than Aubie in the BCS. (example: is LSU = BCS # 8, then AU must be no higher than BCS #14)

Okay, I did not know about the 5 spot deal Sorry,.....now im even more confused. all I know is Tigers have to take care of business. and hope Bama can pull off a long shot against aub.

no. they cant go to h2h if the 3way tie hasnt been broken. i think since there is no differentiation between common opponents that theyd just go with bcs rankings straight up

Personally, I hope Auburn loses to both UGA and 'Bama! ...and I hope UT beats the Hogs this weekend.

But if they go to the BCS, and the top 2 are within 5 spots of each other, it then goes to head-to-head between those two.

i guess that makes sense. so ark would be out of the picture and lsu would have to be 6 spots ahead of auburn. thats a tall order, i dont see it happening. more likely that they lose to bama. outside of auburn losing twice you gotta hope for several teams to wedge between lsu and auburn. at least several top teams have tough games left (usc, cal, nd), and maybe lower teams could move up.
