Please explain how LSU can get to the SECCG

Go back and read the first tie breaker rule and let be know what it says. Please.

 

OK I will....


I will even restate my scenario. LSU wins out. Bama beats AU. Ark loses to LSU and one other SEC team.

1. Not important right now.

2. Arkansas 1-1, LSU 1-1, Auburn 1-1 (Ark loses to LSU who lost to AU who lost to Ark), go to next rule

3. AU 3-2, Ark 4-1, LSU 4-1, Auburn eliminated. See Rule 1.

1. LSU 1-0, Ark 0-1

LSU represents SEC West...

Auburn is NOT going to lose to two more SEC teams.

 

I will agree Auburn will not lose two more games. I still do not believe we can go with them holding the head to head on us. I will be happy if it works that way.:geauxtige

 

It can only work because we would have the head to head over Arkansas. So, if Arkansas blows up and loses to USC and Tennessee, our chances are gone.

Lesson learned: If you are going to lose SEC games, lose them to East teams.

 

I hate to tell you that these assumptions are incorrect. The last tie break is the highest BCS ranking. See below. You should also remember this from the East a couple of years ago with Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia. Georgia to to represent the East due to the highest BCS ranking.

8. The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings following the last weekend of regular-season games shall be the divisional representative in the SEC Championship Game, unless the second of the tied teams is ranked within five-or-fewer places of the highest ranked tied team. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the SEC Championship Game.

As I read this, we would have to be 5 places ahead of Auburn to win this tiebreaker. That certainly won't happen unless Auburn loses both the UGA and AMAB games, which would eliminate AU anyway.

Berge has the right formula. We need AMAB to avoid the thumb and for the piggies to lose to either Tenn or USC, but not both.

Goodlifetiger.....BergeGFK is correct. If LSU wins out, Arkansas loses to UT and LSU, and AU loses to Bama....we will all be 6-2 in the conference, with the Head-to-Head being a triangle, the next step is divisional record, which would eliminate AU because the BAMA loss would give them 2 loses with in the WESTERN division....once a team is eliminated we would go back to head to head and we would have the tiebreaker over Ark.

Now if AU beats bama but loses to UGA, then it would most likely go to the highest BCS ranked team.

 

I see said the blind man I do understand. Thanks for getting it through the hard head.:geauxtige
