If Georgia beat LSU, then the playoff under #2 would still be LSU, Alabama, Oregon, Oklahoma State, right? Oregon and Oklahoma State would have been the only Conference Champs in the Top 6 (not Georgia, not Clemson, not Wisconsin, not West Virginia). So then it goes to the 2 best teams. Unless a loss somehow dropped LSU behind Stanford, but I can't imagine that would have happened. Still wouldn't have forced Alabama out though.
 
Top 6 is a pretty high standard for a Conf Champ to hit.
 
SEC should also keep in mind that last year was an anomaly, but if I'm right even that anomaly wouldn't have prevented them from 2 playoff teams in the Conf Champ scenario. There will be increased parity in that league (thought I just read that 8 or 9 of the Top 12 recruiting classes was SEC?). There will be years where their best team will have 2 losses, and won't be in the Top 4 just based on record, even though it might be the best team in the country. But would/could be in the Top 6. They'd be squeezing themselves out.
