You can see them below. We play Georgia, so common opponents doesn't matter there. But what about a tie with Alabama, what common opponents are there? Same for Tennessee and Ole Miss. Test B will probably be the critical test for those we haven't played. It really doesn't answer much if there are three teams tied. What if X beat Y, but neither played Z and those three are tied? Should Z get the benefit of X's victory?
A. Head-to-head competition among the tied teams
B. Record vs. all common conference opponents among the tied teams
C. Record against highest (best) placed common conference opponent in the conference standings, and proceeding through the conference standings among the tied teams
D. Cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents among the tied teams
E. Capped relative total scoring margin versus all conference opponents among the tied teams
F. Random draw of the tied teams
According to the SEC, if one team is in sole possession of first place in the regular season standings, then the tiebreaker rules will be used for the remaining teams vying for second, in the case of a tie. The conference champion earns home team.
