Just fun thinking, not very likely though..

If Alabama beats A&M
and Auburn beats Alabama
with A&M has already beaten Auburn.

Each team wins all other games...

That's 3 SECW teams with 1 loss with a 3-way head to head.

Auburn > Bama
Bama > A&M
A&M > Auburn

Who goes to the SECCG? One person in our office says it depends on cross divisional opponent rating. I have no idea.

It won't matter because the East will rise again in the SECCG

Not true.

There's a bunch of tiebreakers it goes through but I think since we lost to Clemson, we'd get eliminated which means Bama goes over A&M

We would not be highest rated if Auburn had one loss and beats us the last week of the regular season.

Nobody is beating Alabama, it is a moot* point.

Why would a non conference loss negate your shot at a tie breaker?

Because overall record is a tie breaker

Edit: nvm. Maybe I made that up

2. Three-Team Tie (or more): If three teams (or more) are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order: (Note: If one of the procedures results in one team being eliminated and two remaining, the two-team tiebreaker procedure as stated in No. 1 above will be used):

A. Combined head to head record among the tied teams;

B. Record of the tied teams within the division;

C. Head to head competition against the team within the division with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through the division (multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place);

D. Overall Conference record against non divisional teams;

E. Combined record against all common non divisional teams;

F. Record against the common non divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through other common non divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division; and

G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents (Note: If two teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, then the two-team tiebreaker procedures apply. If four teams are tied, and three teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, the three-team tiebreaker procedures will be used beginning with 2.A.);

Example (Western 1 would be the representative)

TIED TEAMS NON-DIVISIONAL OPPONENTS CUMULATIVE RECORD
Western 1 Eastern Opponents: 14-2
Western 2 Eastern Opponents: 12-4
Western 3 Eastern Opponents: 8-8
H. Coin flip of the tied teams with the team with the odd result being the representative (Example: If there are two teams with tails and one team with heads, the team with heads is the representative).

It's the SEC Record of the east opponents of each school.

Tennessee is a wash for Alabama/A&M

USCe for A&M
Kentucky for Alabama
Vandy & UGA for Auburn

I guess I was just thinking in conference. But you are right, you probably wouldn't jump us even if y'all win.
