What if a 3 way tie occurs?

I think it is very realistic that a 3 way tie could occur this year in the SEC west. This is one of the most competitive races for the west that I can remember and conceivably could be won by Arky, AU, Bama or LSU. What is the SEC procedure for deciding such outcome? Let's hope it's not a freakin coin flip like you know who!

In the event of a tie for the division championship, the following procedures will be used to break all ties to determine the SEC Football Championship Game representative. All Conference versus Conference Games (both division and non-division) will be counted in the Conference Standings.
A. TWO-TEAM TIE
1. Head-to-head competition between the two tied teams.
2. Records of the tied teams within the division.
3. Head-to-head competition vs. the team within the division with the best overall record (divisional and non-divisional) Conference record and proceeding through the division. Multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last.
4. Overall record vs. all common non-divisional opponents.
5. Combined record vs. all common non-divisional teams.
6. Record vs. common non-divisional team 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.
7. The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings following the last weekend of regular-season games shall be the divisional representative in the SEC Championship Game.
B. THREE (OR MORE) TEAM TIE
1. (Once the tie has been reduced to two teams, go to the two-team tie-breaker format.)
2. Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams.
3. Record of the tied teams within the division.
4. Head-to-head competition vs. 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.
5. Overall record vs. non-division teams.
6. Combined record vs. all common non-divisional teams.
7. Record vs. common non-divisional team 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.
8. The tied team with the highest ranking in the Bowl Championship Series Standings following the last weekend of regular-season games shall be the divisional representative in the SEC Championship Game, unless the second of the tied teams is ranked within five-or-fewer places of the highest ranked tied team. In this case, the head-to-head results of the top two ranked tied teams shall determine the representative in the SEC Championship Game.

What ever Alabama team has has the heads up victory over the other Alabama team wins the SEC.

Its happened before. A few years ago, LSU lost to Arkansas at the end of the year to force a 3-way tie in the SEC West and ARK went to the SEC championship.

I think ARK won outright that year. It was 2002 when LSU/AUB/ARK were tied and Bama was on probation.

The better team of the 3 usually gets screwed and the East Champ wins the SEC.

In other words, Bama. They started higher, and will undoubtedly finish higher if everyone has a loss.
