After licking my wounds from the Aggies' loss at SC, I thought I'd do a Sunday morning stat dump on SEC tiebreakers stuff in case you're feeling nerdy.

Here we go.

- 5 teams tied (UGA, A&M, TN, TX, LSU)

- Based on the fact that TX plays A&M and UGA plays TN, there can't be any 4-team ties at this point.

- Updated SOS (strength of schedule)

LSU - 53.5 %
TX - 44.4%
A&M - 42.5%
UGA - 40.5%
TN - 38.3%

- 3 Way Ties

* TX, LSU, UGA - LSU 1 seed by SOS, UGA 2 seed by win over TX.

* TX, LSU, TN - TN out on Common Opponents (L to Ark) ; LSU and TX to ATL (TX 1 seed by better common opponents record)

* A&M, LSU, UGA - LSU and A&M to ATL on SOS (A&M 1 seed by HTH win)

* A&M, LSU, TN - TN out on Common Opponents (L to Ark), A&M and LSU to ATL (A&M 1 seed by HTH win)

Bottom line, Texas needs to win out and have LSU or UGA out of the way. Root for Bama this week UT fans.

Lots of football left to go. Isn't a real system fun?
