Our only chance would be:
1. Florida State
2. Oregon/Arizona State
3. Baylor/TCU
4. ???
- Baylor or TCU to drop a game
- Wisconsin to beat Nebraska and win the B1G over Ohio State
- UGA to win the SECCG over an undefeated or one-loss Moo St
That would leave the decision among Moo St, UGA, and Nebraska. I still don't see a one-loss Moo St getting in over us. Can you imagine the shite storm that would ensue if UGA beat Moo St, yet Moo St jumped UGA and another conference champ? UGA would have won its last 5 games including 2 top 20 teams and the #1 team on a neutral field. Our two losses were on the road, one being the 2nd game of the year and the other being without the best player in the nation. You can bet Mark Richt would be on ESPN 24/7 talking about how UGA got snubbed in 2007 because they didn't win the SEC, and how they couldn't snub them again for winning it.
You have to remember, this is the first year of the playoff, and the committee is supposed to select the best 4 teams at the end of the year. This is suppose to decide a national championship on the field and not by computers and polls. How could you snub UGA by letting Moo St in the playoffs when UGA just beat them on the field. This isn't like TCU/Baylor where they played on October 11. A decision like this would tarnish the playoff system before it even began.

If UGA wins the rest of their regular season games then one way UGA could ensure Moo St doesn't get the 4th position even though we beat them in the SECCG is for UGA to beat Moo St in a blowout.

This committee is probably going to screw everything up. The thing I haven't heard anybody mention is how the committee based their first rankings off the preseason rankings. This is why teams like Michigan State and UCLA were ranked so high to begin with.
