How do Southeastern Conference football records compare for divisional tiebreakers?

Sports Asked by Brandon Bonds on June 20, 2021

In the SEC (Southeastern Conference) for NCAA football, division tiebreaker rule 1.B states the following:

B. Records of the tied teams within the division;

In this context, precisely how do “records” compare?

There are multiple ways I am aware of that records could be compared, and a common approach is Win Percentage. In the absence of ties, the formula is Wins / # of Games. This method seems to be fair when it favors a 9-0 team over a 9-1 team, or when a game is canceled under no fault of the team. But it unfairly treats a 1-0 record the same as 10-0.

I am speculating. Is there any concrete evidence that this method, or any other, is used for this purpose in the tiebreaker scenario?
