The SEC Forum at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I watched some of the UK-Bama game when it was close, which it was for a while.  I agree UK is "pretty good".  UGA is also pretty good, but they went up 14-0 on Auburn at home and then ... the wheels came off.  Like every other team, they have some holes at times.

I'd like to see UK make Atlanta.  Is this the last SEC CG?

Speculation that LSU DC Blake Baker could be a candidate for the open FSU job.  

Pretty sure I'd rather be LSU's DC than Baylor's HC.

I thought about starting a new SEC Champion thread, but might as well just use this one.  


Looks like it's going to be Alabama/Georgia in the SEC CCG again.  Ho hum.  How incredibly boring and repetitious.  And they already played once this season.  

Is this the last SEC CCG?  How fitting.  

Georgia has two games left.  Vs Missouri, and @ USCe.  I don't see a realistic chance they will lose either game, but even if they lose one, they're most likely in the SEC CCG.  Although given that they already lost ot Auburn, I suspect anything is possible.  

I may have had a little help making this with AI 

SEC Championship Game Scenarios – Who Plays Georgia?
With three weeks remaining, the SEC Championship Game picture is starting to clear up. Georgia looks like a pretty safe bet for Atlanta, but the second spot is still wide open.
Current SEC Standings:

• Georgia: 6-1
• Alabama: 5-2
• Kentucky: 5-2
• Texas: 4-2
• Tennessee: 4-2
• Ole Miss: 4-3
• South Carolina: 4-3

Assuming Georgia takes the first spot, here are the basic scenarios for the second team.
Alabama (5-2)
Remaining: Vanderbilt, Auburn
Bama wins out and finishes 7-2. That puts them in excellent shape, but doesn't necessarily guarantee Atlanta.
Tennessee owns the head-to-head tiebreaker over Alabama, so the Tide needs to watch the Vols. Texas could also complicate things with a 7-2 finish.
Kentucky (5-2)
Remaining: Florida, Missouri
Kentucky needs to win both and finish 7-2.
They lost head-to-head to Alabama and Tennessee, so their easiest path requires Alabama to lose another game, Tennessee to lose at least one, and Texas to finish below 7-2.
Kentucky needs the most help of the four main contenders.
Texas (4-2)
Remaining: LSU, Arkansas, Texas A&M
Texas needs to win out to finish 7-2.
An Alabama loss would really help, and Texas already owns the head-to-head over Tennessee. If Kentucky also loses another game, Texas would be in excellent position.
A 7-2 tie with Alabama would require going deeper into the SEC tiebreakers.
Tennessee (4-2)
Remaining: Texas A&M, LSU, Vanderbilt
Tennessee needs to win out and finish 7-2.
Here's where it gets interesting. Tennessee already beat Alabama AND Kentucky.
If Tennessee, Alabama and Kentucky all finish 7-2, with Texas below them and Georgia alone in first, Tennessee wins that three-team tiebreaker.
Tennessee's biggest obstacle is Texas, which beat the Vols head-to-head.
Ole Miss / South Carolina / Others
These teams would need the leading contenders to pile up losses and create a 6-3 logjam. Mathematically possible, but I'm not spending much time on those scenarios yet.
My Take:
Alabama is in the best position for the second spot, but Tennessee and Texas have legitimate paths even if Bama wins out.
Kentucky is still alive but needs considerable help.
The games I'm watching most closely next weekend are Texas–LSU, Tennessee–Texas A&M, and Alabama–Vanderbilt.
Of course, if Georgia loses another game and finishes 7-2, the entire tiebreaker picture gets more complicated.
For anyone wanting to play around with the possibilities, this is an excellent SEC tiebreaker simulator:
