Tiebreaker rules are below. Assuming the following, it appears opponents' conference winning percentage would likely be the deciding factor.
We win out - 7-1
Texas wins out - 7-1
A & M beats LSU but wins out other than Texas - 7-1
LSU loses to A & M and then wins out - 7-1



Tiebreaker rules below:
  1. Head-to-head competition among the tied teams if all tied teams played each other or 1 team beat or lost to all tied teams. (None)
  2. Record versus all common Conference opponents among the tied teams. (All undefeated against common conference opponents.)
  3. Record against highest (best) placed common Conference opponent in the Conference standings, and proceeding through the Conference standings among the tied teams. (All undefeated against common conference opponents.)
  4. Cumulative Conference winning percentage of all Conference opponents among the tied teams. (Note, if 1 team wins here, you revert to rule 1 for the remaining 3 but you likely come back here under the scenario above.)
  5. Capped relative total scoring margin versus all Conference opponents among the tied teams. (While still not likely, there is a real possibility this comes into play year 1.)
  6. Random draw of the tied teams
