If I'm reading things correctly, there are only four 7-loss teams in the conference. If those four, we hold the head-to-head advantage over two of them (UK & UF).

That should guarantee the double bye in the SECT, correct? Or am I missing something?

Supposedly our win clinched a top 4 seed, even before UK played.

OK. Not sure how, but I'll take your word for that. 

Must be that schedules dictated that at least two of the four 7-loss teams with tie-breaker advantage on us would be eliminated by the end of the season?

It was because although prior to the UK game, 3 teams were alive who could tie us and had the tie breaker, 2 of them play each other next week.

It dont matter now though
