A. Combined head-to-head record among the tied teams - LSU beats Ole Miss, Ole Miss beats Alabama, Alabama beats Ole Miss - Tied
B. Record of the tied teams within the division - All the same... lost to a team in the SEC West
C.

D. Overall record against non-divisional teams; LSU/Alabama wins
E. Combined record against all common non-divisional teams; None as far as I know
Two Tied teams-
Two-Team Tie
