Wrong. LSU will own the best out of Division record over the other tied teams and the process will end here. LSU will win Division. The remainder of tiebreaker rules you quote would apply only if the top two or all three teams are tied out of Division


Read the part in bold again.

(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):
I think you may be wrongly interpreting the bold.

When using Tiebreaker 2, TWO teams would be eliminated (Bama & OM both 4-4) and LSU (6-2) would advance.

The part in bold would only come into play if Tiebreaker 2 results were something like this:

LSU 6-2
Bama 6-2
OM 4-4

In that scenario, then the part in bold would take over.

The tiebreakers aren’t done “survivor style” where only one team gets eliminated each tiebreaker.

In the scenario you presented, bama does not get to survive to the next tiebreaker because it finished 2nd in the previous one.
