Read the part in bold again.
quote:I think you may be wrongly interpreting the bold.
(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):
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.

If two teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, then the two-team tiebreaker procedures apply
That portion kicks in.
The purpose of the 3+ way tie breaker is to get it down to two teams. It never determines the winner on its own.
