SBC tie breaker

[LouisianaB]

correct me if im wrong, but i believe as of now if we both win out we would host based on the average of the 3 rankings. Yhe lower the number the better.

The numbers will change. They are playing two good teams, we are playing two mediocre teams. SOS is a significant factor in the these particular ratings. Hard to say where either us or Marshall would be on December 1.

Should be an exciting day

[SlickRick]

In that regard, we don’t control our own destiny at this point. Winning the last 2 would put us in a tie breaker with Marshall if they win their last 2.

Marshall is playing there last 2 games away against ODU and JMU. That won't be easy to winning the last 2!

How far does CFP rankings go? Can they just leave all g5 champs out of rankings as a loophole?

Well we have ____ed away our guaranteed spot in the SBC championship this past Saturday.

Now we have to win out or split the last two and have South Alabama lose one.

How? we have one conference loss..Next closest in the west have 2.

Lose one more and South Alabama wins out they are your SBC West Champ.

Saturday would’ve guaranteed us the spot in the title game. We would’ve owned all of the tie breakers. Now we don’t.

The offense didn’t deliver and now we have more pressure than we should have had.

If Ark st wins out its a 3 way tie. So what decides it then?

We had it all right there Saturday and laid an egg. If we can't beat Troy at home and the Hoax on the road, we don't deserve to be champs.

Gotta love it sometimes. Will make these last two weeks must watch and exciting

[cajun4life]

We were a 6.5 point favorite against South Al. I take nothing for granted when we know the offense can disappear any game.

Also think USA would get divison..They would have a better divisional record with 1 if their two losses coming to west teams. Hopefully Tx St can knock them off the last week.

Man, you guys are a tough crowd. I hope you never have a bad half-day at work. The offense had a bad half. I'm not much good at math, but I believe we scored 17 points in the second half... a good to very good half by any reckoning.

Unfortunately, the defense had a really bad first three series to start the game and the offense could not get anything going in the first half. Both sides, and special teams, played very well the second half, it just wasn't quite enough.

For context, please refer to Alabama v Vanderbilt an Georgia v Ol' Miss.
