🏈 SEC West tiebreaker

[Southern Bama]

What exactly is the tiebreaker if Auburn wins ?

 

[JoshB]

Auburn wins they win the west, the tie breaker is extremely simple. Head to head win.

So their loss to LSU and our win vs. LSU has no impact ?

 

[Splittine]

Just for future reference (both teams would have one SEC loss

So this is basically a playoff scenario for Bama, almost .. The Iron Bowl is the BCS quarterfinal .. and the SEC championship is the semifinal to the BCS.

And there's the reason you have some saying we need to scrap the SECCG because the Big12 has no CCG.

Calling South Carolina a BCS semifinalist after they lost to UT is pretty funny.

No, I meant for Alabama the SEC Championship is a BCS semifinal. If we win out, we are in. No other SEC team can say that.

Call me crazy but Mizzou would give us a good game. They have a balanced attack with very big wide outs, none possibly better in the SEC than Dorial Green-Beckham (DGB). Marty Mauch has proven to be an underrated QB out of highschool (because of his height, 6'0") but has a strong and accurate arm that compensates. He is also mobile and can pull down the ball and run with it. They have a good change of pace at RB with Josey (fast) and Hansbrough (power). Their defense is strong led by Sam. Mizzou tends to send defensive players into the NFL and he will play on Sundays. Don't forget, Pinkel came out of the same breadbasket of coaches that produced Saban. I'm strongly convinced Don James was a damn good coach and leader. His pedigree shows it. I think this has the potential to be a good game if they can clear Ole piss and Texas A&M.
