In that scenario:

Ole Miss and MSU are eliminated, thanks to Vandy going 0-8 in SEC play.

LSU - East opponents are Florida and Kentucky
Alabama - East opponents are Florida and Tennessee
Auburn - East opponents are Georgia and South Carolina

Current records of EAST opponents:
LSU - 4-6
Alabama - 2-7
Auburn - 6-5

Barring a massive push by Tennessee, Alabama is probably out as well.

That means it's now down to LSU and Auburn.

Auburn wins by virtue of the head to head.

5 teams are named SEC West Co-Champions
Auburn represents the West in the SECCG

Of course, Tennessee could win out, probably bumping LSU for Alabama. In that scenario, Alabama and Auburn are the last two standing. Alabama goes to the SECCG to represent the West. There are still 5 SEC West Co-Champs.

Keep in mind, the 3-way tie breaker ONLY applies until you're down to two teams. The goal is that, ultimately, the final consideration is head-to-head (except in extremely rare situations where a game between two teams is cancelled, like due to severe weather or such). The three way tie breaker is not meant to be the final say, only the method of getting down to two teams.

That's not how it works. No one is eliminated in that tiebreaker. It's just flat out who's East opponents are better. Which is Auburn.

We win any tie breaker that's consists of more than 2 teams right now.
