Still not sure how a tie break would work.

In a three-way tie with no H2H differentiators the tie break is probably something like point differential in games between the three.  Right now Berry is +3, Centre is -7, BSC is +4.  In this scenario, if Centre upsets Berry, they would need to win by at least 12 to overcome BSC's +4, otherwise BSC gets to play next week.  And of course Berry makes it moot should they win.

If the conference includes all games (e.g. Rhodes), the numbers are Berry +50, Centre +23, BSC +56, basically assuring BSC of the right to play next week should Centre pull off the upset. 

In the unlikely event of a tie in differential, the conference could either look at the *other* point-differential scenario or just flip a coin.

[BSCpanthers]

From what I'm hearing it's point differential, but not sure if it's all games or just the games involving all three.  Either way, I need Centre to pull off the win, I'll be watching closely on Saturday and pulling hard for the Colonials, but not to hard.

Back from a long posting hiatus! Felt like all here might be interested in the details of the final championship weekend in Little Rock.

Divisions have definitely livened up the conference race despite the bummer of winter storm cancellations. The Trinity / Hendrix game is a de-facto semifinal before championship week. Should be a good one!

West side makes it easy for seating purposes, the East could be a complete mess if Centre pulls it off against Berry.  Needless to say, I will be watching that game very closely and rooting on the Colonels!!!!

Exciting last weekend in the conference!!!!

Interesting.   I had no idea that all the participating schools would travel to Little Rock for a game next weekend, thought it was only the top two seeds.   Thanks for the link and welcome back to the board!

We interviewed BSC HC Tony Joe White on this week's recap show. He covered the SAA tiebreaker scenario (somewhat): https://fb.watch/41Z28VLkv9/

His interview starts after the Wk 4 highlights around the 29 min mark.

This is well worth a watch, not only is the interview with Coach White worthy by itself, but the ITH crew reviewed all last week's SAA play including video highlights from BSC-Centre.   Thank you, gentlemen!

[BSCpanthers]

I listened as well, very well done guys. 

Like they said, DIII in the southeast gets so little run due to it being DI or bust for so many guys.  The experience is the same, just on a smaller scale.

Saturday March 6th schedule(all times central)

West
Hendrix@Trinity  10:00
Millsaps@Austin  12:00

East
Berry@Centre  5:00

This weekend is very important on both sides.  Should be some exciting football.

Come on Centre, BSC needs your help this weekend.

[Ron Boerger]

LOL
- my wife and I are in San Antonio for rehearsals and a concert this weekend - we get out of the car and are greeted by most of the Hendrix team who are apparently staying here as well.

And of course we have rehearsal as the same time as the game!

[BSCpanthers]

Hendrix@Trinity is currently 6-0 Hendrix.  Could very easily be 17-0 but Hendrix has missed an extra point, threw a INT in the end zone and missed a FG attempt. 

Trinity media is putting on a good show so far, very nice production.


Millsaps@Austin now showing an 11:45 kick time.

[albatross]

wow. Hendrix hangs on to win 13-3, stay undefeated, and win the SAA West. Ugly...but a win is a win is a win...

[BSCpanthers]

Berry-Centre game looked a lot like the Trinity-Hendrix game.  Berry wins 18-17 in the first OT by going for 2 after the TD.  Berry plays Hendrix for the championship next weekend in Little Rock. 
BSC will play Trinity for bronze metal, not really sure what they are calling the other matchups. 

Really thought Centre was going to help the Panthers our and pull out that win. We had our chance against Berry but could get the defense off the field when Berry scored with 11 seconds to go.  But when it's all said and done, Berry was on top on the scoreboard after both games, congrats to them for winning the East. 

I'm glad we got the season in, glad the boys got to play, still excited there is one more game to go.  I'm ready for next season to have things back to normal.  Getting back on campus with tailgates and friends.  Bands and full stadiums.  Still have basketball, baseball and softball seasons to go, as well as all the Olympic sports this spring. 

GO PANTHERS!!!!

I though Centre and Trinity both out on a good media show yesterday.  Hopefully it's a great broadcast for the Champiosnhip weekend.  I'll be watching all day Saturday I'm sure.
