Just don't forget that if Auburn does manage to pull a shocker vs Alabama, then we actually reverse course and need A&M to beat Mizzou.

This is wrong. If we win out, we will be ranked higher than A&M. We beat them, which is the first tie breaker. Now this does not mean that a BCS bowl might not take them over us, but in a real sense, what happens to A&M the rest of the way is meaningless to us.

I'm not even sure what point you were trying to make, I just know that you are wrong for saying "this is wrong."

If Auburn beats Alabama, we indeed need A&M to beat Mizzou in order to win the SEC West.

It's simple: If Bama beats Auburn, it would help our BCS chances if Mizzou beat A&M (and essentially knocked A&M out of the BCS discussion). If Auburn beats Bama, it is a MUST that A&M beat Mizzou later that night to ensure a 3-way tie that LSU wins over A&M/Bama.

-Bama win, root for Mizzou
-Auburn win, root for A&M
