    The Southeastern Conference revealed six tiebreaker scenarios for this upcoming college football season if teams within the conference are deadlocked when the regular season concludes.

    The following are the six tiers that tiebreakers will be broken with:

    1. Head-to-head competition among the tied teams
    2. Record versus all common conference opponents among the tied teams
    3. Record against highest (best) placed common conference opponent in the conference standings, and proceeding through the conference standings among the tied teams
    4. Cumulative conference winning percentage of all conference opponents among the tied teams
    5. Capped relative total scoring margin versus all conference opponents among the tied teams
    6. Random draw of the tied teams

    The Texas A&M football team starts its SEC schedule in Gainesville on Sept. 14 at 2:30 p.m. CT against Florida . Two weeks later, the Aggies will face Arkansas in a neutral site clash from the home of Razorbacks alumnus Jerry Jones at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.

    Other conference opponents for Texas A&M this year include Mizzou, Mississippi State, LSU , South Carolina, Auburn and Texas .
