Mullen: "Mathematically we are still in the hunt"

[Sutterkane]

"But our goal this year was to compete for the SEC West championship. Mathematically, we are still in the hunt."

That is incorrect. I am not aware of a scenario where we can win the SEC West unless Auburn is considered ineligible.

Even if we lose the tiebreaker scenario, we could still finish tied for 1st losing the tiebreaker. </p>

But we would "win it the way Ole Miss won it in 2003 not the way we won it in 1998".

...MSU was only 6-2 before their loss to UT in 1998.

I thought of that as well, and all I could come up with was that the interview actually took place before the games were played or finished this past weekend when there was still "a chance."

Your brilliant *** coach scored to go up by one to knock us out of the championship game. Instead of going for two he just kicked the extra point to go up by two. We drove down kicked the field goal to win. Never understood not going for two. Hey, inforeb? Who's the only west team that hasn't been to Atlanta?

the super-duper Co-champions of the West rings.

We beat Ole Miss pretty handily in '98.

 

[MSUCosmo]

He's right in the fact that we are mathematically in it for a co-championship. But, us, Ole Miss, and Arkansas have been mathematically eliminated from representing the West in the championship game.

then so be it.
