It won't happen my Hog friend. If Bama and Georgia meet in Atlanta both undefeated the loser will not get a playoff spot. There would not be a rematch. And there shouldn't be in my strong opinion. That'd be unfair to the other power conferences. If, let's say hypotheticaly, an undefeated Penn State and another undefeated Big Ten team met in the Big Ten championship game. If the loser of that game got in the four team playoffs over a one or even two loss SEC champion I would scream bloody murder. No buddy, the loser in Atlanta is out whomever it is.

In the scenario that undefeated Alabama loses a close game to undefeated Georgia, and there are no other undefeated conference champions, I can totally see both of them making the playoff.
The committee already showed they don't value conference championships that much by selecting Ohio State over Penn State last year.

The key word here is "over." The issue isn't whether two teams from the same conference should get in, it's whether any other team has earned the right to be over either team. Saying it shouldn't happen because of some principle of 'equitable conference treatment' without actually looking at the reality is silly. Especially since rematches are perfectly possible without the teams sharing a conference. ND/UGA has been mentioned. Ohio State/Oklahoma is also a possibility. Hell, if FSU hadn't lost their starting QB near the end of the Bama game, we could be looking at the very real possibility of a rematch in the CFP. The new reality is that top teams are scheduling top opponents much more aggressively nowadays, so eventually a rematch will happen, and it shouldn't make one fricking bit of difference if the two teams share a conference or played OOC.
