How do you figure Ark won't be in Atlanta? The way things are trending this week, if the Hogs win their games against MSU and LSU, the Hogs could be in Atlanta with Auburn sitting at home due to playing an ineligible player all season. Don't know if that will happen, but from the way things look right now, it is about as likely that Arkansas or LSU or Bama (depending on whether Auburn's forfeits would be immediate or after the season) will be in Atlanta as it is that Auburn will be.
ROFLMAO. It took them 5 years to conclude the Reggie Bush investigation, and they actually had a money trail there. This isn't anything but a bunch of conflicting he said/he said stories at this point. You're delusional if you think this will resolve in the next 3 weeks to the point that Ark could make it to Atlanta. Forget the fact that Ark has 2 losses just like Bammer, and bammer beat Ark.
I don't think the FBI works as slowly as the keystone cops at the NCAA do. If Auburn has to forfeit this season's games before the SEC Championship Game, Arkansas would have one loss and Bama would have two - thus no tie breaker involving Bama would be needed. As I wrote, the way things are trending this week, it looks as likely that LSU, Arkansas, or Bama will go to Atlanta as it does that Auburn would, and Arkansas is still in the mix depending on whether Auburn's forfeits happen before the SEC Championship Game or after. Nothing is for certain at this point, but you can bet attorneys in Baton Rouge, Fayetteville, Starkville, and Tuscaloosa are looking into what kind of legal action they could bring to prevent an ineligible player from carrying the Tiger Eagles to Atlanta. You can bet the folks at the SEC headquarters are working with league attorneys to draw up various contingency plans to roll out depending on how far the Newton investigation has gotten by Thanksgiving. The SEC does NOT want an ineligible player carrying his team to a division title and a spot in the SEC Championship Game, much less that ineligible player playing in the conference championship game.
