If the scores hold

[curmudgeon]

MSU is the #2 seed and outright SEC West Champion if:
MSU beats Alabama Saturday
AND
Texas A&M beats Ole Miss Saturday

MSU is the #3 seed and SEC West Co-Champion if:
MSU beats Alabama Saturday
OR
Auburn beats LSU Saturday

MSU is the #4 seed if
MSU loses to Alabama Saturday
AND
LSU beats Auburn Saturday

what if State, A&M, and Auburn win?

[Todd4State]

So, we've clinched a bye?

Yes we have by winning series....hold tiebreakers

[HSVDawg]

So, we've clinched a bye?

I think we clinch a bye if Vandy holds on against USC. They are currently up 8-3 in the 6th. They win, and worst case scenario is we finished tied with either USC or Vandy and ahead of the other. I know we hold the tie breaker over Vandy and think we win the tiebreaker vs. USC as well.

Need aTm's bats to heat up here... Would love to see it go till tomorrow for the west.

History would imply a great situation for us -- not so much for Ole Miss...

[Todd4State]

And of course, Texas A&M decides to start shitting the bed.

I believe it's win/loss percentage against common opponents inside the conference...

[DawgSaint]

I believe it's win/loss percentage against common opponents inside the conference...

That is correct

[jalakin]

By my count if Bama wins tomorrow and USC wins tomorrow, the win/loss percentage against common opponents would be exactly the same. So where does the tie-breaker go from there?

[dickiedawg]

Can someone provide a link to that? Per the sec website the tiebreaker is w-l against the highest seeded common opponent (um), but that hasn't been updated since 2012.
