    Hey guys,

    What would happen if Arkansas beat Auburn... Auburn loses another game..(Georgia :hihi: ), and we beat Arkansas....

    We could all end up with 2 SEC losses!

    What would the tie breaker be?!

    Is there still hope for our Tigers to be SEC Champs?!?!?

    Tiebreaker would be BCS Standings, as determined last year. In that circumstance, I think LSU would rank above both Arkansas and Auburn because of how early our losses were and who they were too.

    Having said that, I don't like Arkansas' chances to get past Georgia in that senerio.

    I tried to find the thread, but gave up. cajdav1 had outlined this pretty well in the last week or so. Possibility exists, but me winning the Powerball is a bit more likely. I like the positive thinking, though. :)

    What is it that you think is so unlikely about this scenario? Auburn losing to Arkansas and Georgia? LSU winning out? Arkansas winning the rest, other than against LSU? It doesn't seem so far-fetched to me. How many times in recent years has the West representative had two losses?

    I think the stretch is in thinking that Arkansas will luck up and knock off both Auburn and Georgia. Either is possible, but probably not both.

    Well, Arkansas does get Georgia at home, and almost anything is possible in the wild, wild, west!

    I agree.

    The Auburn-Arkansas game will determine how I watch the rest of the season in the SEC. If Arkansas wins, I'm rooting for them from here until the LSU game, along with Georgia beating Auburn. If Auburn wins, I'll root for them to go unbeaten and represent the SEC in the Orange Bowl.

    For the moment, though, GO HOGS!
