I believe the tie breaker would go to whoever was ranked higher.


That's not remotely true. There is nothing in the tie-breaker rules about rank.

The tie-breaker rules go all the way to sec east opponent records. Auburns east opponents are terrible. Bama and A&M share tennessee so it comes down to kentucky vs usce which UK will have the advantage.

There are very few unlikely scenarios where Alabama does not win the tiebreakers through a three way tie. Auburn could still win tiebreakers through their East opponents record but they are behind. A&M can only win the tie breakers if through some miniscule amount of probability there is an exact tie between all three teams records of east opponents, then we could win the coin toss. Besides that A&M cannot get over Alabama in any scenarios since South Carolina can only tie Kentucky's record at this point and we both played Tennessee.

It's even worse than that for the Aggies. If UK drops there remaining games and USC wins theirs both will be 4-4. Bama would have the H2H over A&M.

Edit: beaten :( Maybe this weekend will clear up some of the 3 way tie scenarios.
