After some unexpected results tonight, Arkansas is also still somewhat in the mix for the West just like we are. Do we have any preference on the winner of their game against LSU next week? I would think we obviously want that 2nd LSU loss and I'd much rather root for them than Ole Miss in 2 weeks. Assuming we win out, that would likely put either Ark or Ole Miss in the 4th place slot. For purposes of the potential 3 way tie between us, Alabama, and LSU, that is the spot that would decide who goes to Atlanta. An Ark win next week might clinch that 4th spot for them (assuming everything else breaks ideally for MSU) since they hold the head to head vs. Ole Miss.

My understanding is that under that 3-way tie scenario, us and Bama would be 1-0 against Ark and LSU would be 0-1, then we would have head to head over Bama and would still win the tiebreaker. Is this correct? If so, I guess "pig sooie" again next week.

Arkansas without question. If they win, we control our own destiny as long as Alabama wins the Iron Bowl.
