and it would be hard to argue with...
If a memeber cannot play all of its SEC GAMES, then the only games that would count towards naming the SECe or SECw champion would be game within their own division. For example, the champion would be determined by how you did against SECe opponents only if your are in the SECe and the same for the SECw teams as well...
With this in mind, the records would be:
Tennessee
2-0 (the games against Bama and Tam WOULD NOT COUNT IN THE STANDINGS)
Georgia
1-1 (their game against Ole Miss and Auburn would not count)
Florida
2-1 (their game against Ole Miss and Arkansas would not count)
In case of a tie:
If 1 team has a winning advantage over any or all of the teams it is tied with the results would then go to their record against other SEC competeition..For example,
If Tennesssee beat both UF and UGA, but loses to USC, the 3 top teams would all have 1 loss. Since Tennessee beat both UF and UGA, they would be the East Champion.
If their is a split (UT beats UF, UF beats UGA, UGA beats UT for example) then the record against the SEC OPPOSITE division would become the next deciding factor.....
The above might not be the best way to do it...and I'd bet money UF rushes to play that LSU game, because this system would put us in the driver's seat...But it is somewhat fair and something no one could bitch about...
