What happens if 3 SEC west teams all have 1 loss?

In the situation that No SEC west team gets out unscathed (even though the SEC is superior the other conferences) and all have at least one loss at the end of the season, who gets the SEC championship bid? And will there be any chance of seeing multiple SEC teams in the playoff? (Say...all other contenders implode on 1-2 games and no one is undefeated at the end of the season.)
How will it shake out?

Try 2 losses

This happened in the eastern division a few times. I think they ended up going by highest bcs rank.

And in the Absence of BCS rankings?

Please explain the series of game outcomes that would result in 4-5 sec west teams with only 1 loss

That's too much thinking for this morning. Maybe not 4, but 3
I dunno. Just the sense that there isn't a clear division champ.

If committee member Condi Rice hasn't already become the next NFL commissioner by that time, as the only female member of the selection committee, she'll be given a picture of each teams colors and told to pick the prettiest one...

Is that mathematically possible?

No one should read this on less than eight cups of coffee:
FROM SATURDAYS DOWN SOUTH:
With the end of the BCS era, the SEC had to change its tiebreaker for the 2014 season and beyond, according to AL.com.
Previously, at the bottom of a lengthy list of tiebreakers, the SEC’s final deciding factor came at the hands of the highest ranked BCS team. Now, the conference developed a new tiebreaker: the conference will use the combined SEC record of the team’s cross-divisional opponents to determine the division champion. It would be the seventh step for a two-team tie.
In the SEC’s eight-game schedule, each team plays two cross-divisional foes, one permanent and the other rotating.
I guess it’s a good time for us to review the conference’s tiebreaker procedures:
Two-Team Tie
In the event two teams are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order:
A. Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams;
B. Records of the tied teams within the division;
C. Head-to-head competition 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 and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place);
D. Overall record against non-divisional teams;
E. Combined record against all common non-divisional teams;
F. Record against the common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional or non-divisional) and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division; and
G. Changed: Combined SEC record of the team’s cross-divisional opponents
Three-Team Tie (or more)
If three teams (or more) are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order: (Note: If one of the procedures results in one team being eliminated and two remaining, the two-team tiebreaker procedure as stated in No. 1 above will be used):
A. Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams
B. Record of the tied teams within the division
C. Head-to-head competition against the team within the division with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non-divisional) and proceeding through the division (multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place)
D. Overall Conference record against non-divisional teams
E. Combined record against all common non-divisional teams
F. Record against the common non-divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non-divisional) and proceeding through other common non-divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division; and
G. Changed: Combined SEC record of the team’s cross-divisional opponents

It is mathematically impossible for 4 teams with 1 loss. 3 yes. Thread over. Thanks.

More than 3 can have more than 1 loss eh?

The highest ranked SEC team will represent in the playoffs. Take a guess who that will be since the committee would like for a certain team to like them?
