SEC Road to Atlanta: Week 9

For some of the teams further back, I'm just coming up with the scenarios for them to even start to think about taking their division.

SEC EAST Missouri (3-1) still controls their destiny.
South Carolina (4-2) needs a Georgia loss, and a Mizzou loss.
Florida (3-2) and Georgia (3-2) each need 2 Missouri losses.
Tennessee (1-3) needs 2 Georgia losses, 2 Florida losses, and two additional Mizzou losses.
Vanderbilt (1-4) needs 4 Mizzou losses, 2 Georgia losses, and 2 South Carolina losses.
Kentucky (0-4) is one loss away from officially being out, but we can probably call it now.

SEC WEST
Alabama (5-0) obviously controls their destiny.
Auburn (3-1) also controls their destiny.
LSU (3-2) needs an Auburn loss, and an additional Alabama loss.
Texas A&M (3-2) needs 3 Alabama losses and 2 Auburn losses.
Mississippi State (1-2) needs an LSU loss, two Auburn losses, and an additional loss by Alabama.
Ole Miss (2-3) is probably out.  If the SEC West imploded and caused a multi-way tie with three losses, Ole Miss has already lost to three teams in the division.
Arkansas (0-4) is officially out.

Key games for the SEC:

November 2
Georgia vs. Florida
-The winner would potentially gain some ground and put themselves in position to take control of the division if Mizzou does stumble.

November 9
LSU @ Alabama
-This is pretty much LSU's last chance to stay relevant in the division.  If Alabama wins, at least two teams get knocked out of contention.

November 16
Florida @ South Carolina
-If Mizzou stumbles again, this game could determine the East.

 November 30
Alabama @ Auburn
-If certain things hold out, this could determine the West champion.
