Who the hell knows ... that's the answer. No one has any idea. With divisions, we had an idea of who was likely going to be in the SECCG. Right now, not a chance. Too many things can happen. There are 9 teams that have a shot:

Team - L - Remaining schedule:
LSU - 0 - @ATM, Bama, @UF, Vandy, OU
ATM - 0 - LSU, @USCjr, @Auburn, TEX
UGA - 1 - UF, @OleMiss, UTjr
Texas - 1 - @Vandy, UF, @Arky, UK, @ATM
UTjr - 1 - Ky, MSU, @UGA, @Vandy
Mizzou - 1 - @Bama, OU, @USCjr, @MSU, Arky
Vanderbilt - 1 - TEX, @Auburn, USCjr, @LSU, UTjr
Bama - 2 - Mizzou, @LSU, @OU, Auburn
Ole Miss - 2 - OU, @Arky, UGA, @UF, MSU

It's really hard to figure out who will get to the SEC CCG, but with two losses, Bama is basically out. UTjr would have to lose 2 in order for Bama to get in over them.

UGA has the fewest SEC games left - 3. And, candidly, our schedule looks way better now than it did pre-season. We should beat UF, and UTjr has gone 3 straight games without scoring in the first half. Their OL is trash. They don't have depth and are injured. Their QB is erratic. We have them at home. That leaves Ole Miss, and they have two SEC losses already, and play OU and Arky before they get us. Our SEC future will be decided in Oxford, IMO.

LSU, TEX, Mizzou, and Vandy have 5 SEC games left.

ATM, LSU, UTjr, Bama, and Ole Miss have 4.

UGA has 3.

Teams with tougher schedules than UGA:
LSU
ATM
Mizzou (maybe)
Vandy (they are toast)

Win out and we will be in the SECCG, I am sure. LSU and ATM play each other, so they can't both be at 0 losses. LSU also has Bama, and ATM gets Texas. We have the H2H on Texas, and we are up a win on Bama.

I think TEX is in for an eye-opener when they play teams like UK, Arky, and even UF - they will get beat up against them. Then they have to contend with Vandy, the only SEC team that has a winning record against them.

USCjr may get to play the spoiler this year. They played Bama really close, should have beaten LSU, and they beat the dog crap out of OU. They get to play:
ATM, Vandy, and Mizzou.
