    That would be fine, but then there's no reason not to put out the immediately important info about Saturday, right? Just say,"postponed, still working out details to make up the game."

    Looks like SEC has finally grown a pair and tired of the BS. Said they will ultimately make the decision and it should be at 2pm today.

    What's interesting to consider, if the absolute worst happens and the game is not made up, it wouldn't necessarily destroy either teams chances to win their division. Bylaws were written in the SEC back when teams played a different number of conference games. So it's the best winning percentage that goes to Atlanta and not just number of wins.

    Quote:
    Conference Championship. [SEC Bylaw 30.22.1.3]
    The Conference champion will be determined by a game between the two division champions. The team in each division with the highest percentage of wins during all regular-season Conference competition will be declared division champion. If two or more teams are tied with the highest percentage of wins, they will be declared division co-champions. Division standings will be calculated on a percentage basis, using only those Conference games which are a part of the regular rotating schedule.

    I wondered if the cancelled game would count towards the percentage like a tie, but it does not.

    Quote:
    Cancel- To cancel a contest is to nullify it either before or after it begins and to make no provision for rescheduling it or for including its score or other performance statistics in Conference records.

    The SEC office has delayed making a decision on the LSU/Florida game because they can't determine what's in Bama's best interest.
