How did we get 6 seed if Ole Miss beat us?
- Thread starter rykr
- Start date
H2H tiebreaker is only used if two teams are tied.
We were in 3 way tie w/Missouri and Ole Miss. Went based off record vs Florida. I'm not sure why it was Florida, but my best guess on that is they were the team that finished highest that we all (tied teams) played an equal number of times. In this case, that was one game. We beat them and Mizzou and Ole Miss lost to them.

There was a three way tie. All 3 teams were 1-1 against each other, so the tiebreaker moved to our record against the #1 team in the conference, and we all lost. Then to #2 Florida, and only we won against them, so we won the tiebreaker.
So Ole Miss lost to Florida but UK and Mizz both beat Florida. According to what I read that should have lead to a coin flip between UK and Mizz. So still not sure...
Yep, Mizzou did win at Fl. by 1 pt. but we beat them by 6. So either margin of victory or a coin toss?
Here is what I found:
Three-Team Tie (or more)
When three or more teams are tied, the following procedure will be used in the following order until the tie is broken. If two teams re- main tied after a tiebreaker provision, the two-team tiebreaker formula will be used.- Best winning percentage of games played among the tied teams (Example: Team A is 3-1, Team B is 2-2 and Team C is 1-3 - Team A would be seeded highest, Team B second-highest and Team C lowest of the three).
- Best winning percentage of the tied teams versus the No. 1 seed (and proceed- ing through the No. 14 seed, if necessary).
- If two teams remain, coin flip by the Commissioner.
- If three or more teams remain, draw by the Commissioner.
So what happens is, you use the order of H2H, then record against #1, #2 and so on until the tie is broken. Once the tie is broken, if there are remaining ties, they start the process over. So since all 3 teams were tied in H2H at 1-1, it moves to record against #1, which everybody lost, then record against #2, which broke the original tie and left Ole Miss at the bottom with UK and Missouri still tied. So now you start the process over only considering UK and Missouri, of which UK won the H2H. So UK is the 6, Missouri is the 7, and Ole Miss is the 8.
Yep, once Ole Miss was out and we remained tied with Mizzou after the FL result, it then goes straight to the 2 team tiebreaker, with head-to-head being the first thing.
As of how that is written, Missouri should be over UK.
Both lost to 1.
Both beat 2.
Missouri beat 3, UK lost twice.
Head to head had to play a role.
I believe someone else mentioned it, but the 3 way tie was broken when comparing records against Florida. Then it was a two-way tie and we beat Missouri so we won that tiebreaker.
No both Mizzou and UK beat Florida.
So by that, Ole Miss automatically finishes 3rd in the tie breaker, and with only 2 teams left, it goes back to head to head which we won.
So Kentucky gets the top slot, Mizzou the middle slot, and Ole Miss the bottom slot of the 3 way tie.
When three or more teams are tied, the following procedure will be used in the following order until the tie is broken. If two teams re- main tied after a tiebreaker provision, the two-team tiebreaker formula will be used.
1. Best winning percentage of games played among the tied teams (Example: Team A is 3-1, Team B is 2-2 and Team C is 1-3 - Team A would be seeded highest, Team B second-highest and Team C lowest of the three).
We were all 1-1 against each other. Move to #2.
2. Best winning percentage of the tied teams versus the No. 1 seed (and proceed- ing through the No. 14 seed, if necessary).
-Errybody had a .000 win percentage vs Auburn
-Ole Miss had a .000 win percentage vs Florida. UK and Ole Miss had a 1.000 win percentage vs Florida (now two teams remained tied, see provision above)
-We beat Mizzou
My head officially hurts! Happy Monday of the SECT week boys and girls!!! Just trying to figure out ways to pass time until 8:30 (who we kidding...9:15) Thursday night.
