re: Wouldn't the SEC make more money if...

SEC stands to get 17 million for 1 BCS team. The 2nd brings either 6 or 7 million. A 3rd would be even less... I would think. Maybe the difference between 2 million payout per conference team and 2.3 million per team. Not a big enough incentive, IMO, for any shenanigans to help UGA win.
