Arkansas beats A&M in Arlington on September 26th.
LSU beats Arkansas in Baton Rouge on November 14th.
A&M beats LSU in Baton Rouge on November 28th.
All end up 11-1.
Question 1: Who goes to Atlanta as the West Rep?
Question 2: Assuming the West Rep wins the SEC, is there a second Playoff team? If so, who?

Won't happen, right?

I know in the BCS it would have been the winner of the game between the two highest ranked schools, so I would guess that's still the case. The Big 12 just had the highest ranked team go (see 2008: Tech, Texas, OU) so that might be the case now, but I don't think so.

This completely depends on what happens in the other conferences, each team's SOS, margin of victory, etc. so there's really too many variables to decide which team would go or if either team would go.

Probably TAMU since they lost earliest.

I don't know the tie breaker scenario, but I know Arkansas might have the toughest schedule of the three. At Bama, LSU, Ole Miss, Tenn and aTm "neutral" site game in Dallas.
Might be viewed favorably by voters.

It was only 11 straight in Baton Rouge, and 14 straight overall thank you.

#1 The new tie breaker is the combined conference record of the cross divisional opponents. If that is also a tie, it's a coin flip. Rankings no longer matter.
#2 Depends on a huge number of variables, but the answer is "possibly, but unlikely"

I'll go with A & M. But if LSU makes it to 11-0 before 11/28, they'll be the #1 team in the country, and probably solidly.

A&M beating us in your Mickey mouse scenario is sadly the closest you'll get to beating LSU.

As far as two from the SEC making the playoffs, it is very possible. It all depends on how the other leaders of the other conferences finish, including a team like Georgia or Notre Dame.

So, in this scenario, the teams each has played:
Arkansas - Tennessee, Missouri
A&M - Vanderbilt, South Carolina
LSU - South Carolina, Florida
Not sure who wins overall, but my money is that A&M is left out in the cold for the SECCG.

Ark plays Mizzo and UT
Lsu plays USCe and UF
TAMU plays USCe and Vandy
It would come down to cross division opponent's record.
IMHO, TAMU has the worst shot with Vandy and USCe as their CDO.
Followed by Lsu. Ark looks to have the best two SECE teams scheduled.
That would leave Lsu and TAMU as potential playoff contenders at 11-1 but no conference Champs. In the scenario presented lsu would be behind TAMU due to head to head loss.
I doubt that the two sec teams (Ark & TAMU) make the CFPO in this scenario. If it were a BIG 6 SEC team on the bubbles then it would be a strong possibility. Replace tamu with Bama then yes or lsu

That should've been in place in 03.
Florida (6-2)
@ LSU 7-1
Ole Miss 7-1
@ Arkansas 4-4
Georgia (6-2)
@ LSU 7-1
Auburn 5-3
Alabama 2-6
Tennessee (6-2)
@ Auburn 5-3
@ Alabama 2-6
Mississippi State 1-7
Georgia represented the East though because we were the lowest ranked out of the 3 and they beat Tennessee hth.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

Describing a situation where the west doesn't include Auburn or Alabama is indeed, Hypothetical.
