7-1 would beat out a 6-1 team to Atlanta, regardless of the head to head because of higher winning %. They are saying that a SEC game has never been cancelled in history. I still think somebody will figure this out.
After reading again I got it now, like most admin decisions they dropped the ball on this one. SEC office should have over-ruled Florida on this one and declared it moved to BR. We went to Arizona one year and that was cooperation between two different conferences, and we can't get it right in our own conference. Some of these CEO types are so politically motivated it makes them incompetent.
I'm guessing, but way back when not all teams played the same number of SEC teams. I remember when Bama had to play at least 6 conference games and then at times they would play another SEC team they would designate as extra to round out the schedule. If so, this bylaw hasn't been updated since we've had a conference. When the shouting is over, we probably will. Alleva said yesterday that Orgeron had as good a chance as any candidate on getting the head job. I know he wanted to plow through the Gators and it was setting up for him to get a secure toehold, at least, on the job opening. He might end up being the biggest loser if the Gators aren't on his resume.
