re: If 2 SEC teams make the playoff, would the committee try to avoid the rematch?

IMO I don't think the committee cares about where they send teams...their job is only to pick the top 4 teams. They likely couldnt' care less about bowl revenue or how many fans will travel.

but why would the committee care? They don't have a stake in ticket allotment or TV adshare..their one and only job is to pick the 4 teams. If there ends up being a less than favorable pairing, well that's on the bowl committees and TV stations to worry about.

Depends on how they do it
They stuck the LSU donors with tickets for the Michigan vs Virginia Tech Sugar Bowl and some other game. Probably would do the same for tickets in CA as once they sell the tickets the first time, they could care less.
I do agree that FSU vs State in CA may not sell well but Ducks and TCU in NOLA would probably be a real disaster. If 2 SEC teams get in, which I doubt, sending the Tide to CA makes more sense than State.
