LSU win out
Alabama lose to LSU but win out otherwise
Ole Miss lose to Auburn but win out otherwise
MSU lose to Alabama and Ole Miss
Auburn lose to Alabama and either Georgia or Texas A&M

Unlikely that all of that happens, but no single element is all that far-fetched. It's the combination of all of them that makes it unlikely.

We could also have Ole Miss lose to Arkansas instead of Auburn. It is in Fayetteville.

We saw last night how effective a power rushing attack can be against that small Ole Miss defensive front.

ETA: Plus, this would bump Auburn out of the picture quicker. And we would only have to worry about one game on the final weekend (Egg Bowl), as opposed to two. Assuming Auburn loses at Georgia, of course.

No, we would still need Alabama to beat Auburn. We need Alabama in the tie, assuming we beat them.

True somewhat (we would still need Alabama to beat Auburn to keep Bama in the tie), but I was looking for the smallest number of huge upsets. Arkie over Ole Miss would be a pretty big one to hope for. UK over MSU would have helped us, too, and even looked possible for a while, but the scenario I posted would be very plausible. At least each part would be. To have them all come out right is still a longshot though.
