re: Interesting take from the OBC on the LSU/Florida mess

Right you are! FSU has no bearing on divisional play, unless the unlikely event of a tied conference record between two teams. Then the Tiebreaker Rules come into play:

Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams. Although all division rivals meet during the season and NCAA overtime is played in case of a tie game, NCAA Rule 3-3-3, Suspending the Game, has two provisions (c and d) for a tie game in case of weather or other emergency situation, or logistics makes it impossible for the two tied teams' game to be played in case of severe weather. As such, SEC rules still contain the remaining procedures if those circumstances were to happen.

Records of the tied teams within the division.

Records against 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.

Complete record vs. all non-divisional opponents.

Complete record vs. all common non-divisional teams if there be any.

Record vs. common non-divisional opponent (if there be any) 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.

Best cumulative conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents.

Coin flip of the tied teams.
