The only way i see it is if we win out, if auburn loses at least 1 game

So it goes like this (say auburn only loses to bama)

LSU 10-2 overall 7-1 in conference (beat bama) (auburn loss)
or
Bama 11-1 overall 7-1 in conference (beat auburn)

do we jump bama into the SECCG with 2 losses?

We will only have 1 sec loss and would win the head to head vs Bama. So yeh

Auburn will have 2 SEC losses.

If LSU finished 10-2 (actually 9-2) that means they beat Alabama and would win the tie-breaker to go to the SECCG.

Yeah it's fairly straight forward...

LSU wins out, Auburn loses 1 game, LSU to Atlanta.

LSU wins in Atlanta, LSU to playoff if Oklahoma wins Big12 (there are about 100 other scenarios that put LSU into the playoff, but Oklahoma winning the Big12 is the cleanest and easiest)

Other things that would help LSU get into playoff (LSU only needs really one of these if Oklahoma doesn't win Big12)

-somebody other than Washington winning Pac12
-somebody other than Clemson/Louisville win the ACC
-somebody other than Michigan/OhioSt/Wisconsin/Nebraska win Big10 (Nebraska would actually be fine as long as they inevitably lose 1-2 games)

This isn't hard.. if we win out and Auburn loses, we go to CG. If Auburn wins out, they go.

We could theoretically make the SECCG with 2 SEC losses, but that's so unlikely that it might as well be disregarded. I will say that our 2nd SEC cannot be to Bama.

A loss to Bama I believe mathematically eliminates us. We'd have 2 losses and the most Bama could lose after that is 2 (Moo State and Auburn). Since they'd have H2H, we'd need a 3 or 4 way tie, and looking at the potential ties:

3 way tie with Bama and Auburn - we'd be 0-2 against them both, eliminated, Auburn goes
3 way tie with Bama and A&M - Bama would be 2-0 against us both, eliminated, Bama goes
4 way tie with Bama, A&M, and Auburn - Us and Aggy would be 1-2 in that pool, Bama and Auburn would be 2-1, so it comes down to Bama/Auburn H2H, Auburn goes.

By for real do you mean do I think it'll happen or are you asking is the math correct? Because if the former, obviously no and I addressed that. If the latter, yes, mathematically there is a couple of scenarios where LSU makes the SEC CG with 2 SEC losses, but our 2nd loss can't be to Bama in said scenarios.

Since when do non-conference games matter in the SEC race? This isn't the playoff we're talking about, there are objective rules that decide who wins the West. In your scenario, we go to Atlanta with the same SEC record as Bama, and a head-to-head win.
