Reason I say this is in 1988, LSU and Auburn both finished the season w/1 SEC loss. LSU beat Auburn head to head (earthquake game), but the tiebreaker went to whoever had the higher ranking. Auburn did and was considered the “true” champion, ultimately going to the sugar bowl.


This isn’t the same situation. First of all LSU still claims the SEC Championship in 1988 because they were co champions.

Bowl games are invites so the sugar bowl decided they would rather Auburn who was 10-2 over an 8-4 LSU team which makes sense.

For the SEC championship it isn’t an invite it is based off the SEC record then tiebreakers.
