I know that they can be co-champs through the 5 way tie, but Auburn would win that tie, correct?

Unless Georgia beats Auburn.

We would need Auburn to lose 3, we would win a 4 way tie with the others.

ETA: But a lot has to happen for it to end up that way.

Yes, because the 5-way tiebreaker would go all the way to East opponent records, and Auburn would win that by playing Georgia. That's why we need Auburn to finish with 3 losses.

considering they still have us and bama on the road that's entirely possible.

No, it's settled by a game of Russian Roulet played by each team's most controversial "super-fan".

Each team must nominate their own before the season just in case such an issue arises. Some schools have theirs already picked out:

I assume it was too hard coming up with just one for Bama?

We actually don't need Arkansas to win at all. It would be nice if they beat a Mississippi school, but along with winning out, this is what we really need to happen:

Auburn beats Ole Miss
Bama beats MSU
Georgia beats Auburn
Ole Miss beats MSU
Bama beats Auburn

4-way tie with MSU, Bama and Ole Miss. We win the tiebreaker.

Damned unlikely though.

LSU loses any tiebreaker that includes both State and Auburn.

LSU most likely wins any tiebreaker that includes only one of State and Auburn plus at least one more team.

I thought about Updike, but wanted someone goofier looking. Feel free to nominate your own for:
Auburn, Georgia, Alabama, Miss State, Mizzou, Vanderbilt (like they have fans), and South Carolina.

4-way tie at 6-2 with MSU, Ole Miss, and Alabama..

LSU wins the SECW via tie-breaker.

First of all I don't think we win out. BUT IF WE DO, I feel confident we get 4 of those 5, with the only one that I am skeptical of being State/OleMiss.....IMO, Auburn is beating Ole Miss.. Bama is beating State.. Bama is beating Auburn.. Georgia is beating Auburn.

If we beat Bama, this scenario will have a very good chance of playing out IMO.
