re: Will the loser of Tennessee/Georgia still…

Yes as long as the winner of the game goes on to win the SEC title. Worst case for the loser of UGA/Tennessee is a Bama SEC title win. No way the SEC champ is left out and the committee would take a 12-1 SEC title game loser with a head to head win over the East team who sat at home that weekend (unless it was a blowout. The committee could in theory take all 3 1 loss teams in that scenario but we know they wouldn't.
