Tiebreaker info, in the event of a 5-way tie for the West

Auburn loses to Mississippi State and Alabama
Alabama loses to Ole Miss and LSU
Mississippi State loses Alabama and Ole Miss
Ole Miss loses to LSU and Auburn
LSU loses to Mississippi State and Auburn

Each team is 2-2 against one another, so the tiebreaker would go to the records of the cross-divisional opponents.

Current cross-divisional win totals (Number of games played in parentheses):

Auburn: 6 (13/16)
LSU: 5 (12/16)
Alabama: 4 (11/16)
Mississippi State: 2 (11/16)
Ole Miss: 1 (11/16)

Updating those numbers a bit, assuming AU beats UGA and Vandy loses out (eliminating the Mississippi schools)

---

Auburn: 6 (14/16)
LSU: 6 (13/16)
Alabama: 6 (13/16)

Now, let's look at the best-case scenarios for each team:

Auburn: South Carolina over Florida & Georgia over Kentucky, leaving them with 9 wins.
Alabama: Tennessee over Kentucky and Mizzou & Florida over South Carolina, leaving them with 9 wins as well.
LSU Kentucky over Georgia and Tennessee & Florida over South Carolina, leaving them also sitting at 9 wins.

Auburn's half a game behind here compared to LSU and Bama, but if South Carolina beats Florida, then Auburn would likely go to Atlanta. If they lose, then the winner of the Kentucky/Tennessee game likely decides the representative between Alabama and LSU (though Auburn could still force a tie with someone).
