836) Ride Lonesome. Randolph Scott. Lee Van Cleef. James Coburn. Rosco P. Coltrane. Do you really need more reasons?

836 down, 164 to go.

- Does anyone know where I can find the official rules for the SEC on deciding a divisional champion? Our boneheaded Auburn fan UPS driver is convinced that in the case of a tie a head to head match is more important than the divisional record, i.e. if Bama had losses to Florida, South Carolina and Auburn, while Auburn has losses to LSU, Ole Miss and Arkansas, then Auburn goes to the SEC championship game because they beat Bama, even though Bama only has one divisional loss. I did a google search for it but didn't really get anywhere and I'm not all that adept at internet research in the first place, so if someone can point me in the right direction I'd certainly appreciate it.

The UPS driver is right. Head-to-head is the first tiebreaker.

Okay, just got the email from my cousin, here's the tiebreakers:

If it is a two-team tie:

1. Head to head
2. Divisional Record
3. Head to head competition versus the team within the division with the best overall record (divisional and non-divisional)
4. Overall record versus non-divison teams and on and on and on
