And yet the Cocks still have a better win% against Auburn than they do LSU.
If the LSU series (17-2-1) and Auburn series (9-1-1) numbers are right, this is not true.

SoC vs:
Auburn, 1930-2011, 0.136, 1-9-1
Louisiana State, 1930-2012, 0.125, 2-17-1
Ties count for a half game.

Dude, I didn't make it up, do the math yourself:
2 wins, plus 1 tie = 2.5/20 = 0.125
1 win, plus 1 tie = 1.5/11 = 0.136
I even gave you a freaking link.

I wasn't laughing because I didn't believe you. I clicked the link. I was laughing at the creative accounting. There are 3 ways you could account for it and get 3 different numbers.

Maybe, but I've only ever seen it done this way:
Winning percentage
In sports, a winning percentage is the fraction of games or matches a team or individual has won. It is defined as wins divided by the total number of matches played (i.e. wins plus losses). A draw counts as a ½ loss and a ½ win. Winning percentage is one way to compare the record of two teams; however, another standard method most frequently used in baseball and professional basketball standings is games behind.
For example, if a team's season record is 30 wins and 20 losses, the winning percentage would be 0.6. If a team's season record is 28–16–5 (i.e., it has won twenty-eight games, lost sixteen and tied five times), the team has participated in 49 matches. The five tie games represent 2½ wins and 2½ losses, and so the team has an adjusted record of 30½ wins and 18½ losses, resulting in a .622 winning percentage.
