While it is true that you would get in, the top 4 teams will receive a bye and probably more favorable match ups, putting them at a significant advantage, so the regular season still matters.

I didn't say the regular season didn't matter. It's not like going 10-2 is easily accomplished.

I simply said the results of an individual game in the regular season won't matter.

UGA at 11-1 with a loss to Bama is no different than if the loss were to Texas, Ole Miss or Georgia Tech. The 11-1 in the regular season is what matters.

As for the byes, they require conference championships which aren't regular season games. You have to be good enough in the regular season to make the SECCG to have a shot at the bye. It really won't matter that much who your losses are to. It's mainly about the number. But yeah, if UGA and Bama were tied with the same record and Bama beat UGA, Bama would likely get the SECCG nod.

And UGA could still win the national title which would make the rest of it fairly irrelevant.
