1972-Auburn 10-1, Alabama 10-2, Auburn wins head to head, yet Alabama gets SEC title. It's very confusing.

Alabama played and won one more conference game than Auburn. UA was 7-1 and AU was 6-1. Back then schools were required to play a minimum of conference games but there was no maximum. Alabama played an extra conference game. You'll find that this reason will answer most of your questions.
