at the end of the season, all teams 11-1. TAMU beats Bama, Bama beats LSU and LSU beats TAMU.
THREE (OR MORE) TEAM TIE
1. (Once the tie has been reduced to two teams, go to the two-team tie-breaker format.)
2. Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams.
3. Record of the tied teams within the division.
4. Head-to-head competition vs. the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) Conference record and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last.
5. Overall record vs. non-division teams.
6. Combined record vs. all common non-divisional teams.
7. Record vs. common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference (divisional and non-divisional) record and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division.
8. The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings following the last weekend of regular-season games shall be the divisional representative in the SEC Championship Game, unless the second of the tied teams is ranked within five-or-fewer places of the highest ranked tied team. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the SEC Championship Game.
With Bama losing so early, they'd have plenty of time to climb back up in the rankings. Nov. 9th LSU loses to Alabama and falls below both Bama & TAMU. LSU's next game, Nov. 23rd, they beat TAMU and TAMU falls below both LSU & Bama, with LSU 2nd behind Bama in the rankings and TAMU 3rd. The tie-breaker would be the head to head, Bama vs. LSU. That would send Bama to Atlanta.
Of course, I'm expecting Bama to win Saturday. But it would be an interesting tie-breaker scenario.

Moot point.

Bama is the most experienced at begging for second chances so I am sure that would come into play somehow.

9. If one of the teams is Alabama, they automatically win the tie-breaker.

With all 3 teams beating each other and standing at 11-1, with the Bama / TAMU game being so early in the season and the other games being so late in the season, the loser of the Bama / TAMU game would likely be highest in the rankings and would probably go to the SECCG.

IMO if LSU beats bama (at the end of the year) on the road they don't leapfrog LSU. If aTm then beats LSU in BR, at the end of the year, I could see them, but not Bama. LSU bama and LSU - aTm games are too close together. A Bama loss after being on top all year, pissing off the voters, coupled with the media darling would do that.
Just take care of business Saturday and we'll be around in November....

LSU would be ranked higher, thanks to the better schedule.
This is, of course, assuming that UGA and USC don't crap the bed the remainder of the season. In that scenario, UT might very well be the best team in the East.
