The Iron Bowl Doomsday Scenario to end all Doomsday Scenarios

Hypothetical but fun to think about:
Auburn wins out and wins the SEC Championship at 11-2. Alabama finishes 11-1 with a loss to Auburn.
We have another Iron Bowl in Atlanta for the 2 vs 3 Peach Bowl Playoff. The state of Alabama may cease to exist.
Assumptions for this to happen: A&M loses another game so that Auburn would represent the West in the SEC Championship, Clemson or Washington would go undefeated to earn the 1 seed, and enough teams lose for 2-loss Auburn and non-champ Alabama to qualify.

We were a Duke upset over FSU in the ACC title game in 2013 from having an Alabama/Auburn rematch in the BCS championship game.
But sadly, Duke.

Obviously it is a long shot. But what all needs to happen for a rematch of the Iron bowl in a playoff game? Is it even possible?

Duke got waffle stomped on that game. I also wanted to believe.

Judging by how this football season has been going...would it really be that much Turmoil? It seems to be happening every week...Top 10 team losing.

If aubie were able to pull it off this could happen. Bama is the most likely non'champ to get in. But a loss that late in the year? I don't know.

Then Alabama is not worthy of ba playoff spot. Why does a team unable to to its conference deserve a shot in the playoffs? Hell the playoff came about because they did that bs in 2011.
