Eastern Division

* - Georgia is the Eastern Division representative to the SEC Championship Game.

* - Georgia and Florida are co-champions of the Eastern Division with 7-1 records. By virtue of its 17-9 victory over the Gators on Oct. 27, the Bulldogs won the tie-breaker.

Western Division

* - Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M are all mathematically eligible to reach the SEC FootballChampionship Game as the Western Division representative. Here are the scenarios:

1) If Alabama defeats Auburn on Nov. 24, the Tide are the Western Division Champions and representatives of the Western Division

2) If Alabama loses to Auburn, Texas A&M defeats Missouri and LSU defeats Arkansas (all gameson Nov. 23-24), there will be a three-team tie for the Western Division championship and LSU wouldget the tie-breaker because:

a) All three teams have a 1-1 record against each otherb) Texas A&M and LSU would have a 5-1 division record while Alabama would have a 4-2 divi-

sion record, thus eliminating Alabamac) LSU defeated Texas A&M 24-19 on Oct. 20, thus the Tigers would win the tie-breaker

3) If Alabama loses to Auburn, Texas A&M defeats Missouri and Arkansas defeats LSU (all gameson Nov. 23-24), Texas A&M and Alabama would finish in a tie for the Western Division Championship.Texas A&M would win the tie-breaker due to its 29-24 win on Nov. 10.
