Texas is currently 2.5 games back of first-place Georgia. So too are the Texas A&M Aggies, but A&M has a tiebreaker over the Longhorns for the No. 2 spot as a result of their two wins in College Station earlier this season.

Can Texas reach the top again? Here’s a look at the current standings, remaining schedule for contenders, and much more.

SEC Tiebreakers via the SEC

Teams shall be seeded based on winning percentage in regular season conference competition. Ties will be broken in the following manner:

1. Two-Team Tie

A. Won-lost results of head-to-head competition between the two tied teams.
B. Won-lost percentage of the two teams against all common opponents.
C. Won-lost percentage of the two teams versus the highest seed using common opponents only (and proceeding through the last seed, if necessary).
D. Best cumulative winning percentage of all Conference opponents.
E. Coin flip by the Commissioner.

2. Three-Team Tie (or more)

Note: If the three tied teams have three different records against each other, they shall be seeded in best-percentage order. Once the tie has been reduced to two teams, the two-team tiebreaker procedure will be used.

A. If all tied teams are common opponents: Total won-lost percentage of games played among the tied teams.
B. Won-lost percentage of the tied teams against all common opponents.
C. Won-lost percentage of the tied teams versus the highest seed using common opponents only, and proceeding through the lowest seed, if necessary. In the event of multiple ties, they shall be broken from first to last.
D. Best cumulative winning percentage of all Conference opponents.
E. If three or more teams still are tied, the Commissioner will conduct a draw.
