How the SEC West Will Be Won … Maybe By Everyone
The Nightmare Scenario. There is an option that would cause absolute chaos: All six teams could end up tied at 5-3. Ole Miss wins out while Auburn loses out. LSU and Mississippi State defeat Alabama, but LSU loses to Arkansas. Arkansas, in turn, loses to Mississippi State but defeats Vanderbilt and South Carolina. Mississippi State beats Kentucky. Tiebreakers eliminate LSU, Arkansas and Mississippi State but leave Auburn, Alabama and Ole Miss standing. It goes to the BCS. In this scenario, who would look best to the pollsters? An Ole Miss team that lost to an FCS team at the beginning of the year? Auburn, having started strong and then lost three in a row? Alabama, which lost to LSU and Mississippi State but rebounded to beat Auburn?
