No shite 
So tough with all the top 10 teams left that have to play one another to determine who ends up ranked there.

If Bama and Arky win out, and LSU loses to Arky, they will all have identical records. The only scenario to break the three-way tie would be the bcs rankings.

If true, this wasn't in place when OU and Nebraska did it.

Nuh uh. In the event of a 3-way tie its highest BCS ranking. So if arky wins out and beats lsu, Bama would probably be ranked highest. Which means we go
Arky could possibly jump bama...just sayin.

If Stanford beats Oregon, they jump Alabama easily.
If Oregon beats Stanford, they jump to #3 or #4.
Stanford, Oregon, Okie St/Oklahoma and Boise St with an outside shot if one of those three teams chokes it away. If (big if) LSU wins out it's about 99% set in stone it will be one of those teams.

There is no such official rule. In 2007, there was a big argument (not really with a lot of merit) that UGA should get in the NC game over LSU. Had the voters in the polls/computers agreed, UGA would have been in the NC game over LSU. But, of course, the voters put LSU ahead of UGA on the basis of the SEC championship and the body of work over the season.

This is not a rule. Google the original statement. The only other website with these exact words is a Texas a&m message board.

If LSU loses only to Arkansas, the season ends with a 3 way tie. Which of those tie breakers would eliminate Alabama, Arkansas or LSU? The 3 teams would have lost ONLY to each other, making all the other tie breakers a wash. Unless I'm looking at it wrong, which is entirely possible.

Does this part of the tiebreaker not mean that LSU would have to drop at least six spots below Alabama in the bcs or they use LSU and Alabama head to head,which LSU won?

Correct, except if the "second of the tied teams is ranked within five-or-fewer places of the highest ranked tied team. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the SEC Championship Game."
LINK
If the top 2 are ranked within 5 places of each other (which would likely be the case if LSU lost to Ark), the second highest ranked team in the conference goes in the event they've already beaten the highest ranked team in the conference.
If LSU and Bama have the highest rankings, LSU goes (even if Bama is ranked higher).
If LSU and Ark have the highest rankings, Ark goes (even if LSU is ranked higher).
If Ark and Bama have the highest rankings, Bama goes (even if Ark is ranked higher).

1. (Once the tie has been reduced to two teams, go to the two-team tie-breaker format.)
2. Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams.
3. Record of the tied teams within the division.
4. Head-to-head competition vs. the team within the division with the best overall (divisional and non-divisional) Conference record and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last.
5. Overall record vs. non-division teams.
6. Combined record vs. all common non-divisional teams.
7. Record vs. common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference (divisional and non-divisional) record and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division.
8. The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings following the last weekend of regular-season games shall be the divisional representative in the SEC Championship Game, unless the second of the tied teams is ranked within five-or-fewer places of the highest ranked tied team. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the SEC Championship Game.
BCS ranking is the 8th tiebreaker in the event of a 3-way tie. I don't know why everyone in this thread is insisting that it's the first thing that's looked at.

But not entirely probable. Who's going to rank a one loss LSU behind a 1 loss Bama? The computers? Nope, LSU has two quality victories OOC. The pollsters? Doubtful.
