SEC tie-breaker rules

Let’s hope F never comes into play

It is great to be SEC champs but man, there are teams that would gladly miss playing the best conference team to rest up for the playoffs. This thing is getting trickier.

Yeah, "F" will generate a LOT of complaining...by those left out.

 

[Elefantman]

If it gets down to F, FSU should be automatically bumped from the 12 team playoffs.

I don't think anyone goes undefeated in conference play this year, and I think, at most, one team only has one conference loss. I see 3 or 4 teams with 6-2 conference records, so these tie-breaker rules will be put to the test quickly. I don't have any issue with the rules or the order of procedure. I can't imagine it would get past D.

 

[Jack Bourbon]

It is probably not mathematically possible to get to F

 

[BhamToTexas]

I agree with other comments, I see 3 teams tying for the second spot in the championship game. This would get a bit messy.

Unfortunately they will come into play this year.

Would love to see some detail on "F".

Do they use playing cards, numbered chips in a hat or do the respective ADs get together for rick-paper-scissors...?

Hmmmm. Not bad, Dizzy!

I think "F" should always be decided by the number of SEC titles the teams in question have.

What happened to the tie break the highest ranked team in the playoff rankings? I liked that one.

Probably because the CFP Committee has idiots...

I really thought the BCS Formula worked really well!
