SEC tiebreaker rules for 2025 season
The SEC will use six potential tie-breakers for the 2025 season in this order until the tie is broken:
Step 1: Head-to-head competition: This is the easiest tie-beaker. Did Team A beat Team B?
Step 2: Record vs. all common conference opponents.
Step 3: Record against highest (best) placed common conference opponent in the conference standings, and proceeding through the conference standings among tied teams.
Step 4: Cumulative conference winning percentages of all conference opponents among tied teams.
Step 5: Capped relative total scoring margin vs. all conference opponents among the tied teams.
Step 6: Random draw.
So, if OU were to beat Bama, & Texas won out, Texas would win tie-breaker vs Georgia & A&M based on “Step 1”. And they would win tie-breaker w/ Bama based on “Step 2”. If Ole Miss beats Florida tonight, they would have tie-breaker over UT based on “Step 2”. Maybe im missing something, but wouldn’t this mean Texas vs Somebody in SEC Championship Game?
