Not trying to flame, just a question.

If the Tigers had beaten Georgia and Ole Miss, and the rest of the season stayed the same, the SEC West would have three one-loss teams.

Which team (Bama, LSU or Auburn) would go to the SEC Championship game to play Missouri?

team with the highest BCS ranking. Probably would have been Auburn since they would have lost first out of the 3, but you never know.

Probably Auburn since their loss would've been in Sept and LSU and Bama's losses would've been in Nov. seems like this has happened in the SEC East a few times with UGA, UF, UT

Usually the highest ranked unless the two highest are within so many spots of each other, in which case it would go to head-to-head between the two highest ranked. Based on where we were ranked, I would assume LSU and Auburn would be the two highest ranked and fairly close together so LSU would get the nod.

I seem to remember from 2011 that a 3-way tiebreaker is highest ranked, unless the difference is less than 3 spots, ie Auburn 3, Bama 4, LSU 5. In that case, the lowest ranked team is eliminated and head to head is used for the other two.

This would have applied in 2011 if LSU had lost to Arkansas. As long as LSU remained higher ranked than Arkansas, they would have still gone to the SECCG.

Highest rank 2 bcs teams would probably have been LSU and Auburn and by virtue of our win over auburn it would have probably been us.
