With multiple teams tied who've all beaten the others and all have the same division record, doesn't it go to some strength # of the cross division opponents in the SEC?

LSU: UF, UK
UA: UF, UT
MSU: UK, Vandy
OM: Vandu, UT
AU: UGA, USC

Auburn has the best opponent record with UGA in the mix. UA would likely be next I think because Florida will likely finish higher then UK due to h2h.

It's not best opponent. It's combined conference records of BOTH opponents. Right now, Auburn's opponents have 5 losses, and LSU's have 6 losses.

LSU played Florida too, by the way.

Florida finishing higher than UK wouldn't make much difference, since LSU also played Florida. It's Tennessee and Kentucky that would make a difference for LSU and Alabama. LSU would need Kentucky to finish higher than Tennessee, while Alabama would need the Vols to finish higher. It would be pretty funny if lowly Kentucky and Tennessee were playing in late November to decide the SEC West title.
