LSU defeats Texas A&M AND Alabama defeats Auburn OR
Texas A&M defeats LSU AND Auburn defeats Alabama **
Arkansas-Missouri doesn't matter
Final Standings: Ole Miss 6-2, Alabama 6-2, LSU 6-2, MSU 6-2, A&M 5-3.
MSU would be 2-1 against Ole Miss, Alabama and LSU.
Ole Miss would be 2-1 against MSU, Alabama and LSU.
Alabama would be 1-2 against LSU, Ole Miss and MSU
LSU would be 1-2 against Alabama, MSU and Ole Miss.
MSU-Ole Miss winner would go to Atlanta.
* - Alternatively, if Arkansas beat Ole Miss, there would be a three way tie between Bama, LSU and MSU at 6-2, with all being 1-1 against each other.
Everyone's division record would be the same. The next tiebreaker would be record against the No. 4 team in the West, which would be Ole Miss, as they beat A&M. State would have been the only team to beat Ole Miss in this scenario.
** - This would create a two way tie between State and Ole Miss, which would go to head to head. If Arkansas beat Ole Miss, this scenario would give State its only option as an outright champion.
