So if Florida takes 2/3 from A&M and Arkansas sweeps Ole Miss we have a 3 way tie for 2nd.
What are the deciding factors for seeding in the SECT

Seeding
The team with the highest percentage of wins during the regular season Conference competition will be the No. 1 seed; the remainder of the tournament field will be seeded 2-13 based on the Conference winning percentage. Ties will be broken in the following manner:

1. Two-Team Tie. The following procedure will be used in the following order until the tie is broken:
A. Won-lost record of head-to-head competition between the tied teams.
B. Won-lost record of the two teams versus the highest seeded common opponent.
C. Fewest runs allowed in head to head competition. If head to head competition between two tied teams did not occur, then fewest runs allowed against all common opponents.
D. Fewest runs allowed versus all opponents.
E. Coin flip by the Commissioner.

2. Three-Team Tie (or more). If three or more tied teams have three different records against each other, they shall be seeded in best percentage order. Otherwise, once the tie has been reduced to two teams, the two-team tie breaker procedure shall be utilized. The following procedure will be used in the following order until the tie is broken:
A. Total won-loss percentage of games played among the tied teams.
B. Won-loss percentage of the tied teams versus the highest seed common opponent.
C. Fewest runs allowed in head to head competition. If head to head competition between the tied teams did not occur, then fewest runs allowed against all common opponents.
D. Fewest runs allowed versus all opponents.
E. If three or more teams are still tied, the Commissioner will conduct a draw.
