We’re screwed if it comes to a Texas/UGA/TAMU tie

There is some misinformation out there on the 3 way tie. I think the way it actually works is Georgia goes 1st based on conference opponent % but then the criteria resets and Texas goes head to head. 

Not that it matters now since Aggies lost, but I think you are right upon re-reading the rules on page 3 at https://www.secsports.com/fbtiebreaker

Specifically this part -

2. Three-Team Tie (or More) for First Place:

In the event three or more teams are tied for first place
in the Conference standings, the procedure below will be used in descending order.


After the head-to-head competition among the tied teams, if a tiebreaker step produces standings
with a clear No. 1 team by itself, that team is selected for the championship game   [so, Georgia at this point?}   and the remaining
teams still in contention revert to the beginning of the applicable tiebreaker procedures (e.g., if there
are three tied teams, the No. 1 team is in the championship game and the other two teams go to the
first step of the two-team tiebreaker procedures for second place
;  [so this is where the rules state it restarts and we'd be ahead of A&M, assuming we both finished 11-1 but we beat them in the head-to-head ... no longer an option for this to happen, but good to know.  Thanks for the info]
