Say LSU, Bama and Auburn finish in a three way tie with each team having beaten the other. Who would the SEC send to the SECCG?

If Bama needs the SECCG to make the playoffs, they will get out in. If they don't, the SEC will give them a rest week.

I think it goes down to the 7th tie-breaker in this case.

7. Best cumulative Conference winning percentage of non-divisional opponents

Meaning LSU would likely win that tie-breaker assuming Florida has a better conference record than Tennessee.

LSU - Georgia and Florida
Auburn- Georgia and Tennessee
Alabama - Missouri and Tennessee

eta: I think they'd all be "co-division champions" so you know who would be in the playoffs.

Bama would get SECG week off and be the #1 seed in the playoff. That's how it would happen.

Bama is a lock, then it’s who wins the SEC Championship; if that’s Bama, SEC locked out of Playoffs.

This link has the SEC football tiebreaker rules.
It really depends on how they play against the rest of the league if they go each go 1-1 against each other.

SEC Tiebreaker Rules

3 team tie breaker G, if they get that far, favors LSU since it looks at the records of the cross divisional opponents and Georgia and Florida likely have a better record than the pair of teams Auburn or Bama plays.

Auburn plays Georgia too, so it will come down to whether TN or FL has the better record.

The Tennessee vs Florida game might actually mean something. Just not to either of them.
