Yes, Kentucky can clinch second place in the SEC East with a win over Tennessee on Saturday. The Cats and Georgia would be tied at 4-4, but Kentucky won the head-to-head. Same goes for Ole Miss if the Rebels can beat arch-rival Mississippi State in the Egg Bowl. Even if LSU beats Arkansas, and the Tigers and Rebels tie at 5-3, Ole Miss gets the edge thanks to Les Miles’ horrible clock management at end of last Saturday’s game.
Here are the standings heading into the final week of the regular season:
