They vote for SECW, SECE, and SEC Champ separately. The people who picked Alabama first in the west didn't pick Bama to win the Champ.

They don't vote on the SEC champ at all. They just vote on division placement and every school gets points based on their placement on each ballot (7 for 1st, 6 for 2nd etc). Auburn got more 1st place votes which is why they finished first in the West, but they were also ranked lower on more ballots, which is why Alabama scored higher.

This is probably the most inaccurate explanation of how this happened that I have seen so far.
