The craziest scenarios ever. Let's get this straight, I'm not predicting anything, but I'm just saying 'what if'. And, frankly, in some crazy way, we're playing about as well as anyone in the Conference right now outside of Lee Co., Alabama. We're definitely playing the best ball in the East the last 2 weeks. So, we HAVE to beat UK & UF. We just have to. Those are Eastern Division games and crucial to the whole race.
Also, there is no scenario that will work that doesn't include South Carolina losing 2 more games. They have to. Even if we win out and they lose once, there's no one we can tie with to end up in a 3-way tie with them outside of UT or Vandy, which would mean UT beating Bama and SC or Vandy beating a whole bunch of people they ain't. So, knowing that, the 'Cocks, for 4 straight weeks are @ Vandy, vs. UT, vs. Arkansas, and @ Fla. No matter what, for them to lose 2, one of them will be a division game, which is good for us. There's a very good possibility they lose 2 more. They are very pedestrian w/o #21 in the lineup.
Okay, so the easiest thing is for that to happen and we just win out and we win the thing outright. That's crazy. Here's the thing, though. It doesn't really matter as long as we beat UK and UF. Losing to Auburn won't matter. That's the formula. Win the next 2, cheer for the Cocks to lose 2 more (now, this is under the assumption that one of the Cocks' losses is in the swamp). Because…
UF TIE:
We do our part but lose to Auburn. UF regroups after our game and wins out. Cocks lose 2, including Fla. That puts us in a round robin head to head w/ the 3 teams. So, you go to Eastern record. We'd be 4-1, Fla. Would be 4-1, Cocks would be 3-2. Cocks eliminated, back to head to head w/ Gators…we win.
UK TIE:
We do our part, but lose to Auburn. Florida implodes and loses to Darth Visor, too. Kentucky regroups and beats MSU, Vandy & UT (finally). Cocks lose to Arky & UT. Same thing w/ the round robin between Cocks, Dawgs and UK. Goes to East record. We're 4-1. UK would be 3-2. Cocks 3-2. We win, book it for Peachtree St.
The crazy 4-way-tie world scenario:
We do our part, but lose to Auburn. Florida regroups and wins out after our game, beats Vandy & Cocks, going 4-4 in the SEC. Kentucky regroups after our game and goes 4-4, beating MSU, Vandy & UT. Cocks lose to Arky and Gators. 4 way tie between UK, UGA, UF and FakeUSC. Head to head. Cocks are 1-2, Cats are 1-2, Gators are 2-1, Dawgs are 2-1. Cats and Cocks eliminated. Dawgs win out over Gators.
It's about to get crazy. You know, if there is karma in college football, we'll win this thing and sneak in, and we'll play undefeated and #1 ranked LSU in the dome…and Adriel Jeremiah Green will catch a last second fade route to seal the deal.
Oh, and get this, in all those 4-loss scenarios, do you realize how crazy it could get. This ain't that far fetched. We could literally win the next to and lose to Auburn and Tech and play for the Championship at 6-6. Heck, we could tank it against Idaho St. and go 5-7 and still get there.
