We win 5 of our last 6 and we finish at least 2nd and get a double-bye so long as:
1. That 6th game is not a loss to FL at home
2. Neither Mizzou nor Bama win out the rest of the way.
This is because we would have no worse than 5 losses, as would FL if we are there only loss, but we'd hold the tiebreaker over them.
Mizzou and Bama would own the tiebreaker over us if we tied with one of them.
I'm too lazy to figure out what would happen in a multi-tie situation involving TN, FL, and either or both Mizzou and Bama. Of course a multi-tie involving both FL and Bama and TN is impossible if we go 5-1 and beat FL because Bama plays FL later.
That is also worst case scenario cause it assumes FL wins out except against us.
Safest way is to just win. We control our own destiny for that double-bye. Win out and we are guaranteed to finish no lower than in sole possession of 2nd place.
