This is all crazy. Why is all of this?

I know that they used to award multple SEC titles if you tied and head-to-head did not matter. See LSU and Auburn in 1988, for example. We don't do that now, obviously.

But, why would one school get it over another if the other school has the better record and/or won head-to-head?

to compensate for weaker teams being on the schedule...yeah, I know Bama played Vandy damn near every year, but they were next closest to Tuscaloosa after MsState and AU. A lot of these trips were done on bus and train, as athletic budgets were not as they are today, mind you.
