This all falls apart the second that an 8-4 MAC champ takes the spot of an 11-1 team that's only loss is the SEC title game. In that model 2021 Georgia would have been sent home.
Help me out here…
In your example above, are you really suggesting Georgia would “have been sent home” (I’m assuming you mean they would miss the playoffs)?
Do you really think that ANY 11-1 team from ANY P4/5 conference (much less the SEC) would even remotely come close to not getting an at-large bid?
Really?

In his model where conference champs get automatic bids, for sure it might happen.
There are 11 D1 conferences (for now), meaning that there would only be 1 at large bid. In 2021 Notre Dame finished 11-1 and would take that last at large bid. Georgia would be going home sine they weren't conference champions and there's no way Notre Dame is being left out since they're independant and it's their only way in, and Georgia would just be coming off a blowout loss.
Then teams like Ohio State and Oklahoma state that picked up their second loss in their conference championship game would be heading home as well. It's just not a good model. Especially when we'd get a matchup like Toledo (7-5) vs. Troy (10-2) in the playoffs as conference winners.
