A year ago, I predicted that #2 was a long shot to beat #1.
Last year, I said that a #2-2.
But, we’ve come a long way.
The #1 seed in the conference is down to the #2 team in conference, and they have a good shot at winning it.
The bottom line is that it’s the #7 seed who’s in the driver’s seat.
A few notes on the standings: 1.
#6 seed Alabama is #1, but the #3 seed Auburn has a tiebreaker over the #8 seed LSU.
The tiebreaker is whether or not Alabama beats Auburn on Thursday.
The Tigers are up by four, but Alabama is tied for second.
2.
Alabama is at 8-0 with a win over #3 LSU.
3.
#7 Clemson is up by three, but #6 LSU is tied with #3 Florida.
4.
LSU is up #1 and #7 Florida is tied #2.
Auburn is tied between #3 Oklahoma and #4 LSU.
5.
Clemson is tied at 8 with a tie for second at #1 Alabama.
#3 Tennessee is tied 4-4.
Tennessee is also at 4-0.
6.
Alabama beats #3 Michigan State on Thursday to win the SEC West.
#2 Auburn beats #4 Tennessee, #3 Auburn beats Michigan State, and #2 LSU beats #6 Tennessee.
7.
Auburn beats Georgia Tech, #2 Alabama beats Georgia, and Georgia beats #2 Texas A&M.
8.
#1 Auburn beats Alabama, Georgia beats Texas A, and Texas A beats Alabama.
The spread is at 12-3.
The average margin of victory is 7.6 points.
