Explaining the SoCon Autobid (not decided yet)

[Edge316007]

All three are in no doubt about it.

Agreed, but if a seed came out of the SoCon, I would not support it going to a non-autobid over an autobid.

Also, I would like to see the SoCon amend the rulebook and eliminating shared titles. I don't like to recognize our 2007 title when it was a 2 way tie but Wofford beat us head to head.

Sort of what happened in 1999.

Of course the seeding was different back then, with 8 teams seeded.

If I'm not mistaken, ASU got the autobid. GSU was seeded #2, ASU #4 and Furman #7.

Even if you do that, it doesn't make figuring out the autobid any easier.

ASU is 1-1 against GSU and Wofford
Wofford is 1-1 against ASU and GSU
GSU is 1-1 against Wofford and ASU

Thus, the only way to figure it out is to determine the teams' records against the 4th place team, which will be decided this upcoming week.

Once you figure that out, one of the three teams above will be eliminated from contention, at which point you can revert back to the much easier head-to-head matchup.

What I'm saying is, I don't like that 1/3 of the SoCon can celebrate as champions this year. Break the tie, and have only that team recognized as champions, be it GSU, Wofford or App.
