re: Help me understand SEC tie-breaker C.

If two teams are tied below the top group, I believe the top teams' record against the group of tied teams below them is compared. Here's an example as I understand it. Say the top 5 of the SEC West finishes this way:
LSU 6-2
Mississippi State 6-2
Alabama 6-2
Auburn 5-3
Ole Miss 5-3
The top 3 are all 1-1 against each other, and 4-2 against the division. So then their combined record against Auburn and Ole Miss would be compared. Each team would be 1-1 against the two, so that tiebreaker would fail, and would eventually end up comparing East opponent records.

Lets just admit it, the tie-breaker will go to the team whose mascot has the longest trunk.
