Why would SEC allow 11-1 Auburn over 11-1 LSU in Atlanta?

I just don't get it. I know the tiebreaker procedures, but for the good of the conference why would a walking-dead Auburn be allowed to win the SEC title when there is a legitimate alternative (declaring Auburn "ineligable for the 2010 SEC Title pending further investigation") in sending higher ranked, same record, untainted LSU in their stead.

A) Birmingham protects the integrity of the SEC title
B) Birmingham keeps SEC BCS Title hopes alive (LSU would be ranked higher in the BCS than Auburn)

Because Auburn is not in trouble.. yet. What if they were found to be innocent?

Good grief. These are the rules. Stop sounding like Georgia fans. Loser talk is the worst. That's as bad people bitching that we have to play Bama and Florida every year. Pitiful.

Why would the SEC do that? Apparently there isn't enough proof yet to eliminate Auburn. Seriously why in the hell would they do anything to harm a team from Alabama?
