SEC Championship Hypothetical

[TexasFanatic]

If we win out and Bama wins out… it would be UT vs Bama

However, what happens if Bama loses to like OU. 
 

Would we play Ole Miss? Bama still? Aggy?? 
 

Also I 100% know this is a moot point since we have to win out first.

If Bama, Ole Miss and Texas win out and TAMU beats South Carolina, it’ll be Bama vs Ole Miss or TAMU. Ole Miss and TAMU would win that 3 way tie breaker over us based on our loss to Florida, then the two way tie between Ole Miss and TAMU might be decided all the way down the list of tiebreakers at “capped relative scoring margin vs conference opponents”.

If the same situation BUT Bama loses to OU, there would be a four way tie and TEXAS would actually be #1 in SEC standings and win the 4 way tie breaker, because Florida would not be counted as a common conference opponent like it would in the Ole Miss/TAMU/Texas tie. It would be Texas vs Bama in that situation.

Damn. The SEC should be ashamed if that is the case.

Texas wins out and they sre in the sec championship game regardless of what else happens.

Bama would be in and we would have the tie breaker iver ole miss   2nd tie breaker is record against like opponents..we would both be 1-1 (uga and florida) and then the next tie breKer is highest rank win against common opponent and we wiuld have that by beating UGA.

This is not accurate. Ole Miss has to drop a game or OU has to beat Bama for Texas to get to Atlanta even if Texas wins out.

No, aggy and Bama would play in the SEC CG if Texas, Ole Miss, and Bama win out.  Texas loses a 3-way tie at a 7-1 record with Aggy and Ole Miss, due to common opponent records (our loss to Florida while both Aggy and assuming Ole Miss beats Florida).

Texas’ best chance is to win out and hope Ole Miss loses to UF or MSU, while Bama also wins out.  That would out Bama at 8-0, and both Texas and Aggy at 7-1, and we win the head to head tiebreaker.  Ole Miss would be 6-2 and not part of any second place tie breakers.

Winning out does solidify Texas in the Playoffs but not the SEC CG.

I'm not sure we should be worrying about the CCG, at least I'm not. Beating Georgia on the road, where we haven't played well, is a pretty daunting task. Considering they just breezed past Miss State, a team that was about to blow us out if not for a great comeback effort by the boys.

We'll see if the Texas has truly turned a corner when they play next week. But the D has me worried, especially the secondary even with guys coming back from injury. Also get to see if that OL can hold up because last years one got torn apart against Georgia in both games.

Interesting scenario's though.

It will go deep into the tiebreakers between Ole Miss and TAMU if it gets to be a 3 way tie between them and us. It’s difficult to say who would win it right now

That would be an epic F up by Ole Miss. They should be about 28 pt favorites at this rate
