Scenarios for #2 Seed

Vanderbilt (9-5) — remaining games at Kentucky, versus Florida
Kentucky (8-6) — remaining games versus Vanderbilt, at Tennessee
Georgia (8-6) — remaining games versus LSU, at Alabama
Tennessee (7-7) — remaining games at South Carolina, vs Kentucky


Scenario One (Vanderbilt) — If Vanderbilt beats Kentucky, the Commodores land the #2 seed and the bye. 

Scenario Two (Vanderbilt) – If Vandy wins one of its last two games and Kentucky and Georgia also split their final two games, Vandy lands the bye.

Scenario Three (Kentucky) – If Vanderbilt and Kentucky finish tied for second place, a tie-breaker would be used.  The first tie-breaker in a two-team tie is head-to-head records and the two teams would have split their two contests.  The second tie-breaker is division record.  UK would hold that advantage by one game… and thus Kentucky would earn the bye.

Scenario Four (Vanderbilt) — If Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Georgia all finish tied for second place, the best round-robin record between those three teams would survive.  Vandy would be 3-1, Kentucky would be 2-2, and Georgia would be 1-3.  Vandy would get the bye.

Scenario Five (Tennessee) — If Vanderbilt, Kentucky, Georgia and Tennessee all finish tied for second place at 9-7, the best round-robin record between those four teams would survive.    Tennessee would be 4-2 versus the others while UK and VU would be 3-3 with UGA standing at 2-4.  Tennessee would get the bye.

Scenario Six (Tennessee) — If Vanderbilt, Kentucky and Tennessee finish tied for second-place at 9-7, the best round-robin record would survive.  Tennessee would be 3-1, Kentucky would be 2-2 and Vandy would be 1-3.  Tennessee would land the bye.

Scenario Seven (Vanderbilt) — If Vanderbilt and Georgia finish tied for second place at 10-6, Vanderbilt’s 2-0 record versus Georgia head-to-head would land Vandy the bye.

Scenario Eight (Kentucky) — If Kentucky and Georgia finish tied for second place at 10-6, the two teams would have split their season series.  The next tie-breaker is division record and UK would easily hold the advantage.  Kentucky would get the bye.

Scenario Nine (Kentucky) – If Kentucky wins its last two games while Vandy loses its last two (one would be head-to-head, of course) and Georgia splits its last two, Kentucky would grab the bye.

Scenario Ten (Georgia) — If Georgia wins its final two games while Vandy loses its last two and Kentucky splits its last two, Georgia would earn the bye.
