Question about SEC West & East Title Race

As it stands, Bama and Georgia are most likely to head to Atlanta for Championship. My question is when we will know if the team will clinch the title?

Based on the standing for West and Alabama's schedule, Sounds like things could be wrapped up by LSU or Auburn games depending on other team.

Georgia should have it locked up within two or three weeks.

Question about SEC West & East Title Race

Auburn would have to win out and have LSU drop a game. Bama and LSU can win out. If we beat LSU and auburn loses to either A&M or UGA we wrap up the West before the iron bowl. If we lost two SEC games and A&M wins out they go to ATL but the odds of that are 0.0%.

Technically Florida, Kentucky and South Carolina are still alive but they’d have to win out and UGA would need to lose 2 SEC games. UGA can lose a game and wrap up the east.

This is inconceivable. I have too many relatives that are Auburn fans for Alabama to lose to them.

If they win out, then the barn reps the west. If not, we do.

In other words, only Bama, LSU and UGA control their own destiny.

Not 100% true. AU needs someone to beat LSU to go to Atlanta.

This was the situation that occurred in 2013. Auburn had one earlier SEC loss but beat us, thus earning the tiebreaker advantage of 1-loss teams, and they went on to the championship game.

He was quoting someone who said:

In that scenario, LSU would be eliminated due to losses to MSU and UA. So if Auburn wins out in that scenario then they are in Atlanta

Auburn 7-1
Bama 7-1
LSU 6-2
