    So, LSU runs the table and we end up with one loss in conference, as does Auburn (not likely after watching them today) and Arkansas.........what is the tie breaker? Head to head would be a moot point.

    I think it might be the highest ranked team. I know there are tons of tie breaker rules.

    very premature question, but we are fans and we can do that.

    If this is the case then that puts us back in the drivers seat. we, for the moment at least control our own destiny.

    B. THREE (OR MORE) TEAM TIE

    (Once the tie has been reduced to two teams, go to the two-team tie-breaker format.)
    Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams.
    Record of the tied teams within the division.
    Head-to-head competition vs. the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) Conference record and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last.
    Overall record vs. non-division teams.
    Combined record vs. all common non-divisional teams.
    Record vs. common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference (divisional and non-divisional) record and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division.
    The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings following the last weekend of regular-season games shall be the divisional representative in the SEC Championship Game, unless the second of the tied teams is ranked within five-or-fewer places of the highest ranked tied team. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the SEC Championship Game.

    IF all 3 teams win out and LSU beats Arkansas last game of regular season:

    Auburn would get in....Arkansas would be ruled out based on BCS rankings (3 team tie-breaker rules), then Auburn wins the tie-breaker with head to head win vs LSU (2 team tie-breaker rule)

    Auburn has to lose another SEC game, in other words for LSU to get there

    LSU can still finish #2 in the BCS without even going to the SEC CG

    Would love to see Auburn run the table, win the SEC CG, and finish 3rd in the BCS rankings with LSU being 2nd, so we can hear more clamour about playoff system (especially after Tubby's rant this past week)
