It would go to this tie breaker:
"Combined SEC record of the team’s cross-divisional opponents"
Right now:
AU = UGA, USCe combined 6-5
LSU = Florida, UK combined 4-6
Bama = Tenn, Florida combined 2-7
MSU = UK, Vandy combined 2-8
OM = Tenn, Vandy combined 0-9
See why we wanted to drop Florida? Knew sooner or later we would get the short end playing UF every season lol

So Auburn wants UGA to win out, but lose to them.
LSU wants UF and UK to Beat Georgia. The other three are probably out in this scenario.
LSU needs UK to beat Mizzou and UT.

That's not how it works. No one is eliminated in that tiebreaker. It's just flat out who's East opponents are better. Which is Auburn.
That;s EXACTLY how it works. Why this is so hard to understand baffles me.

Ole Miss and the actual division winner.

Go down that list one by one: with the exception of LSU vs Bama and Ole Miss vs State, those are probably the correct favorites anyhow. And both of those games could be close.

One of two things happen depending on the interpretation of this statement:
Either:
1. You run through the tiebreaking procedures until one team has been eliminated, then run through them again until another team has been eliminated, etc. until you get to two teams, at which point the two-team tiebreaker is applied.
2. You run through the tiebreaking procedure once to eliminate all but two teams and then apply the two-team tiebreaker.
Under interpretation #1:
- Ole Miss is almost certainly eliminated, having Vanderbilt and Tennessee as the likely worst-finishing pair of cross-divisional opponents of the five tied teams.
- This creates a four-way tie among Mississippi State, Auburn, Alabama, and LSU.
- LSU and Auburn are 1-2 in this group and State and Alabama are 2-1, so it becomes a two-team tie between Alabama and State.
- Alabama has the tiebreaker over State due to head-to-head and represents the West in Atlanta.
Under interpretation #2:
- Auburn likely has the best cross-divisional opponents record, with the presumptive East champion in Georgia and a middle-of-the-pack team in South Carolina. LSU likely has the second-best record with a 2nd or 3rd in the East Kentucky team and a Florida team that, while not good, is likely to finish ahead of Tennessee and Vanderbilt.
- The tie becomes a 2-team tie between Auburn and LSU.
- Auburn has the tiebreaker over LSU due to head-to-head and represents the West in Atlanta.

the 3-way tie breaker ONLY applies until you're down to two teams.
How is a 3-way tie breaker possible with only two teams?

This shite is kinda fun to look at . . . of course, none of this will happen as planned.

I thought the tie breaker goes to the team that hasn't been to the SEC championship in the longest time? That means OM would
