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.

They absolutely vote on the overall SEC champ in addition to voting on divisional placement.

You're telling me they don't even vote on who wins the Champ game?
It is just "inferred" from the voting results for the two divisions...
I'm sure there is some conventional wisdom in there somewhere. But that Is not intuitive
