Nice of you to think of the OT for this

You take the highest prime number of the 2nd lowest ranked of the three and divide by the Houndstooth Quotient: Bama goes.

If that's the case, it falls to the last tiebreaker - highest BCS ranking, unless within 5 spots. Then it's head-to-head of the top 2.

Tie breaker is based off BCS rankings
Since LSU would've beaten TCU, Georgia, and Florida( all ranked teams that Bama and txm didn't play) LSU should technically be ranked highest
But unlikely cause they will say Bama is destined or some crap

We play a 3 way game on Saban's "triangle" field

If LSU, A&M, and Bama all tie because each beat each other and lose to no one else, the tie breaker would be BCS ranking...which we all know would go to Alabama.

I'll go ahead and give you the serious answer.
BCS ranking would be the first deciding factor. BUT (and this is the biggest "but" ever), if the two highest ranked of the three (in the BCS) are within 5 spots of each other (as they certainly would be in your scenario), then it is decided by head-to-head between those two teams.

In case of a 3-way tie, fire Javi.

bamma will get it cause the rules state that the highest bcs ranked team will get it. .....bamma/saban lovefest continues

Same thing that happens every year - it NEVER does! However, it's been explained alreay on the tiebreaking rules. Pretty good chance (per normal these days) that winner of Ala-LSU will rule the west even if ATM beats LSU simply b/c they (LSU and ALA)will be w/i 5 spots of each other in BCS and head-to-head wins! A&M will lose another game along the way with their porous defense. Of course all this is assuming LSU takes care of everyone on their schedule w possible exception of A&M. WE MUST BEAT ALA!!!! That's bottom line.

Assuming we all have one loss, it would depend on who we each have the one loss to, correct? If we all lost to each other, then it is BCS. If we all have one loss, but our only loss was to an SEC East opponent, the SEC West record would be the first tie breaker, I believe.

There is no tie breaker: Bama is the division winner whenever a tie occurs. It's written in the SEC Rulebook.
