How bad will SEC title hurt SEC in playoff every year?

There are going to be so many years where the 2 teams who make it will be ranked like 2 and 3, 2 and 4, etc and both would have made the playoff yet instead the loser gets punished for having accomplished the achievement of making the sec title (but losing) and then SEC gets screwed and only gets 1 team into the playoff.

Another question: think there will be numerous times where an SEC team goes 10-2 vs an insane schedule and an 11-1 team from a crap conference like big 12 gets in over them? There have been numerous times lately where other conf teams have gone 11-1 and finished higher ranked than an SEC team that went 10-2 with a crazy schedule, or even went 11-1 and then lost in SECCG and was 11-2

SEC will get the benfit of the doubt or we will push for an 8 team playoff.

The fact that UCF Baylor was a BCS game (I think UCF was legit) shows how much voters like the pretty numbers over legit schedules and teams.

We've already seen you don't have to attend the conference championship game, much less win it, to attend the national championship.

The trade off is the SEC champion is practically guaranteed a spot.
