SEC scheduling until '78 or so was not succinct. You could make a case that in some form or fashion Alabama and Auburn could have been co-champs. LSU had a somewhat similar--not exact--issue in 1969.
Tennessee won the SEC with a 5-1 mark. LSU was 4-1. They each lost one game, to Ole Miss. LSU lost a squeaker, 26-23. Tennessee was throttled, 38-0.Through the 1968 season there were "appointed" SEC games against non-conference teams to ensure each team played at least 6 sec games. That ended in '69.
In 1970 the NCAA allowed for each team to play 11 games --not including a trip to Hawaii. Auburn didn't take advantage of this until 1973. Had Auburn talked Vandy or Kentucky into a game in 1972, they would have been co-champs with Alabama.
