The head to head would be even, so what is the next tiebreaker?

-Combined head to head record among the tied teams

Then

-Record of the tied teams within the division

-Head to head competition against the team within the division with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through the division (multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be
broken before a tie for fourth place);

-Overall Conference record against non
divisional teams;

- Combined record against all common non
divisional teams;

-Record against the common non divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through other common non divisional teams based on their order of finish within their
division; and

Assuming Ole Miss loses to UGA and Bama loses to LSU leaving them all with 2 loses, then Ole Miss would be eliminated by the tiebreaker with 2 conference loses to the others' 1. LSU would then take it over Bama with the head-to-head.

At least that's how I read it. Could be wrong.

Try google man.

2. Three-Team Tie (or more): If three teams (or more) are tied for a division title, the following procedure will be used in the following order: (Note: If one of the procedures results in one team being eliminated and two remaining, the two-team tiebreaker procedure as stated in No. 1 above will be used):

A. Combined head to head record among the tied teams;

B. Record of the tied teams within the division;

C. Head to head competition against the team within the division with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through the division (multiple ties within the division will be broken from first to last and a tie for first place will be broken before a tie for fourth place);

D. Overall Conference record against non divisional teams;

E. Combined record against all common non divisional teams;

F. Record against the common non divisional team with the best overall Conference record (divisional and non divisional) and proceeding through other common non divisional teams based on their order of finish within their division; and

G. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents (Note: If two teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, then the two-team tiebreaker procedures apply. If four teams are tied, and three teams' non-divisional opponents have the same cumulative record, the three-team tiebreaker procedures will be used beginning with 2.A.);

It is highly unlikely that all 3 end up 7-1

& assuming that’s the case, Ole Miss would deserve to win the West after beating #1 UGA in Athens

Your scenario has LSU & Bama at 7-1 in SEC & Ole Miss at 6-2. That's not a 3 way tie. It's only a 2 way tie. LSU would win because of the win over Bama in your scenario.

You may be right on the surface, plus LSU and Bama have OOC losses and they don't. But their permanent opponent being Vandy will probably frick them over if this does end up coming to fruition.

And I hope that happens honestly just so they can get cucked out of Atlanta for one final time in the division format. You know they would melt so hard and I wouldn't blame them.

Deserve has nothing to do with it. IF, and I agree it’s unlikely, but if we all go 7-1, then it comes down to winning percentage of non divisional opponents. Currently LSU would have a slight advantage with Missouri/Florida over Alabama with Tennessee/Kentucky. Ole Miss is probably out because of Vandy. If LSU and Bama opponents have an equal record, then LSU goes because of the h2h win.

The scenario I was imagining is that LSU and Ole Miss win out and Bama loses only to us...making everyone 7-1. After reading all the tiebreakers it looks like it would go all the way down to "G".

Ole Miss east opponents are GA and Vandy and their likely cumalative record will be 8-8. Bama has TN and Kentucky and we have FLA and Mizzo. Its anyones guess what their respective cumalative records will be...but likely better than 8-8. We have to pull for Fla and Mizzo to end up with a better cumalative record than TN and Kentucky to get the tiebreak over Bama.

It goes all the way to step G, assuming everybody is 7-1. (If not, it’s more complicated, because you need to start naming specific losses)

In that case, the team which has the East opponents with the best record would go. Ole Miss plays Georgia and Vanderbilt, LSU plays Missouri and Florida, Alabama plays Tennessee and Kentucky.
