ArizonaLonghorn Posted November 3, 2024 Posted November 3, 2024 7 hours ago, Chris Evans said: There is some misinformation out there on the 3 way tie. I think the way it actually works is Georgia goes 1st based on conference opponent % but then the criteria resets and Texas goes head to head. Not that it matters now since Aggies lost, but I think you are right upon re-reading the rules on page 3 at https://www.secsports.com/fbtiebreaker Specifically this part - 2. Three-Team Tie (or More) for First Place: In the event three or more teams are tied for first place in the Conference standings, the procedure below will be used in descending order. After the head-to-head competition among the tied teams, if a tiebreaker step produces standings with a clear No. 1 team by itself, that team is selected for the championship game [so, Georgia at this point?} and the remaining teams still in contention revert to the beginning of the applicable tiebreaker procedures (e.g., if there are three tied teams, the No. 1 team is in the championship game and the other two teams go to the first step of the two-team tiebreaker procedures for second place; [so this is where the rules state it restarts and we'd be ahead of A&M, assuming we both finished 11-1 but we beat them in the head-to-head ... no longer an option for this to happen, but good to know. Thanks for the info] Quote
cdibbs Posted November 3, 2024 Posted November 3, 2024 Eh, maybe in the minority but I'd take the 5 seed and an extra week of rest vs playing in the SEC championship. Not worried about it as long as we take care of business. 1 Quote
