Auburn and Bama played even for near 60 minutes. Auburn won the game and therefore the claim to being the better team since they ended up with identical records before the SEC CCG.
So anytime a team beats another team the winning team is automatically better than the losing team? No exceptions? We don't account for home-field advantage, flukes, injured players, or anything else in guessing who the overall better team is? So LSU hasn't won a legitimate national title since 1958?

If the losing team was markedly better in terms of wins and losses for the balance of the year then there is an argument. You can debate anything frankly. But the assumption should be if two teams have similar credentials that the winning team is the better team.
Auburn definitely has a better claim as of right now. They have two very solid wins to point to in Bama and Missouri. Bama's best win is a win over a three loss team in LSU.
