re: LSU will play Georgia at 4:30 CT on Tuesday in the SECt #8/9 game

When teams aren’t in the same division the tiebreaker is record against common opponents in conference descending from1 seed down. Georgia beat vandy, vandy swept us.

Now that you mention it, it's hard to understand. For instance, if it's intradivisional, look at these #'s for LSU:

Miss St 1-2
@Ole Miss 2-1
Arkansas 1-2
@Auburn 2-1
Alabama 2-1
@A&M 2-1

LSU has a 10-8 record within their side. I don't know what Georgia has done, but do they really have a better Eastern record than 10-8?

FTR, this is why Georgia is the 8 seed and has the tiebreaker over us. With the SECt tiebreaker rules, it boils down to record against common opponents in the SEC, beginning with top team. Vandy was the best common opponent we both played. They won their series against Vandy and we got swept by Vandy.

Lol thanks. Worded better than mine perhaps. Turns out vandy let Kentucky come back and Tennessee finished 2nd. But same result.

Thanks. Yes agreed, now that the weekend series are completed, LSU is 13-17 and Bama is 12-17. The point was Bama had played one less game during the regular season and we needed to win on Saturday and not depend on any tiebreaker.
