A year or so ago I looked into this idea, and if I remember right, this never would have affected the SEC West winner. It only would have changed the SEC East.

I was going to dispute this, but I'm glad I checked my facts first. If cross-divisional games were disregarded 2006 would have resulted in a three way between Arkie with a loss to LSU, Auburn with losses to Arkie and Georgia, and LSU with losses to Auburn and Florida. Each posted a 1-1 record against the other two. Its speculation as to how such a change would affect the order of tiebreakers but overall conference record would surely be among the first two or three. So Arkie almost certainly still goes to Atlanta.
But division championships should be determined by division games. Any other criteria is an absurdity with at least a hint of corruption.
