We don't need UT to lose twice. If LSU wins out which is very possible (@ A&M, vs Ole Piss) and UT splits (@AU, vs Mizzou) assuming Ark takes care of A&M at home LSU would win a 3 way tie and get the 6 seed. However if Ark loses then we would not win the head to head tie breaker over UT.
So basically LSU needs to win out bc UT is going to split the next 2 and ARK is close to unbeatable at home.

I believe you have this wrong. If A&M, Tennessee, and LSU all tied like the scenario you have above, each team would be at 10-8.
The three teams played each other 1 time apiece, each going 1-1. The problem now is that both Arkansas and Tennessee beat Florida the #1 seed. So the 6 seed would go to a coin flip between Arkansas and Tennesse while LSU would be left to the 8 seed.
quote:
Three-Team Tie (or more). When three or more teams are tied, the following procedure will be used in the following order until the tie is broken. If two teams remain tied after a tiebreaker provision, the two-team tiebreaker formula will be used.
Best winning percentage of games played among the tied teams (Example: Team A is 3-1, Team B is 2-2 and Team C is 1-3 - - Team A would be seeded highest, Team B second-highest and Team C lowest of the three).
Best winning percentage of the tied teams versus the No. 1 seed (and proceeding through the No. 12 seed, if necessary).
If two teams remain, coin flip by the Commissioner.
If three or more teams remain, draw by the Commissioner.
