LSU #5 in seattle times/anderson-hester poll

Mythical, since the NCAA doesnt recognize a champion.

 

What did I miss? If UF beats FSU, then we play UT in the SECCG, right?

 

Thanks MB, I didn't know that.

 

Your right in that we can't get Qaulity win points, but that won't matter anyway because if we beat Georgia, they would drop out of the BCS top 10. However we will definitely lower our BCS score for beating a top 10 BCS team, by way of SOS.

That will only happen if UF finishes ahead of UT in the BCS standings AND is within 5 spots of UGA. If the top 2 of the 3 teams in the BCS standings are within 5 spots, the tie breaker goes to head-to-head. It is very unlikely that UF will catch and pass UT even with a win over FSU. Last week UT was 5th, and UF was 14th.

Tennessee has to lose to Kentucky or Vandy for Florida to make it to the SEC CG regardless if Florida wins out because UT has 5 spots on Florida to begin with because of head to head play. There is simply not enought room in the BCS standings for Florida to jump Tennessee by 5 spots if Tennessee wins out.

But if Tennessee loses, Florida will automatically go regardless of what Georgia does against Kentucky because of the head to head play between Florida and Georgia.

 

So right now, if all 3 of them win out, the SEC West winner (LSU hopefully!) would face Georgia, right? Since Georgia would probably stay within 5 of Tennessee, and Georgia won the Tenn-UGA game... right? wrong? :shock:

 

correct LSU would face Georgia

 

I'm listening to a local sports show up here in TN and they just said if UT lost one game, Florida will be in the SECCG. I don't know how they figure that, but I guess it would drop UT below the other two teams.

 

I think they are assuming they'd drop below Florida and Georgia in the polls (not sure about that myself though), and then Florida would be within 5 spots of Georgia and thus win the new tiebreaker rule due to their head-to-head victory over Georgia.
