There is clearly a lot of football to play in the season. But I could easily see the following scenario playing out:
1. Alabama wins out
2. Ole Miss goes undefeated into the Egg Bowl and State wins.
This leaves Alabama, Miss State and Ole Miss in a three way tie, each with 1 loss records, with all of the losses against each other. The records against all SEC opponents, both in and outside the West are the same. As far as I can tell this may go as deep as the 7th or 8th tiebreaker in the SEC rulebook, which is some arcane rule about relative strength of interdivisional SEC opponents.
Anyone have any insight into how Alabama would fare in this situation?
