College football week 9 thread

Oh.
Never been there. Never had enough money to go there.
I've always lost it all betting on college football games.

 

Alabama...

 

According to the SEC website, after head-to-head across three-team, obviously not an option, then next tiebreaker is divisional record.

Currently, that would give Florida (3-1) a lead on Tennesse (2-1) with Georgia on the outs right now (2-2). The next direction is this.

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.

What I think this means is if all three teams end up tied, with Tennesse and Florida both at 4-1 in the division, the Vols win against Georgia puts them in the game. But don't hold me to that.

 

I remember when they all finished tied a few years back, the SEC cooked up a last-ditch tiebreaker based on highest BCS ranking. Beats a coin flip, I suppose.

 

That is listed as the last resort on the SEC website.

 

OK, the "no applicable data" line here is worth the read alone.
