SEC East scenarios with a side of desperation

Posting this here because we had this discussion at dinner the other night. Sometimes divisional tie-breakers are like rocket surgery, complicated and intricate. And this weekend won't clear things up much as Mizzou is enjoying a bye week while holding all the cards. Still, the Tigers' beat guy Dave Matter provides the least complicated rundown of where things stand heading into the home stretch.

For Georgia fans clinging to any and all hope, it's simple - win out and force yourself to pull hard for both Ole Miss and Texas A&M. There is no scenario where the Dawgs extend their season towards Atlanta without Mizzou losing both of those games, while also beating Auburn and Kentucky.

What if Missouri loses to both Ole Miss and Texas A&M?
