fun with football

This sounds like one of those logic problems from grade school (and the old version of the GRE): If Suzie finishes the race before John, and Mary finished second, and Bill took a 2 minute break...who is going to the SEC championship?

(From Ivan Maisel, http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/notebook?page=iform079)
"My colleague Brett Edgerton presented a couple of unusual SEC scenarios in GameDay Final on Sunday, including 11 teams qualifying for bowls and Vanderbilt winning the SEC East. He left out the goofiest (although not implausible) one of them all.

If Georgia loses to Auburn and to Kentucky;
If Tennessee beats Arkansas and loses to Vanderbilt and Kentucky;
If South Carolina loses to Arkansas and beats Florida;
If Florida beats Vanderbilt and loses to South Carolina;
If Kentucky loses to Vanderbilt and beats Tennessee and Georgia;
And if Vanderbilt loses to Florida and beats Kentucky and Tennessee;
The SEC East will have a six-way tie for the championship at 4-4.

If that happens, the SEC East will hold a jamboree at the Georgia Dome on the Wednesday before the conference championship game, in which each team will play one quarter against the other five. Tickets will go on sale …

Just kidding.

The SEC has a tiebreaker in place that will winnow out teams until it gets down to two teams, in which case the higher-ranked team in the final BCS standings will "win" the division, unless the lower-ranked team is within five places of the higher-ranked team and won the game between the two of them."
