The reality is that the SEC's 3rd place team most years would win any other conference in the nation. Until that gets weighted into the system, it's just unbalanced.
The reality is the third place SEC team will never get in to the 4 team playoff. It is a committee with too many other interests at state, to ever allow this. You may think talent wise that 3 teams deserve it, but the system isn't going to allow for that. There is too much money at stake in other places, and more often than not you're only going to get one SEC team. Once you accept that, you realize that the SEC needs to maximize it's revenue outside of trying to get more than one team in the playoff. Does an expanded conference schedule ad more revenue tv wise, or does losing a home game deter that cost. That is the only question. I promise you.

And they really shouldn't
Frankly the #2 team probably shouldn't either. It diminishes the value of the regular season result and not every year the #2 or #3 SEC really be a top four or five team.
Obviously the best teams in the SEC have been regarded as the best in the country since Florida beating tOSU started the run... but that time will eventually end. In the long run I'm more worried about maintaining the value of the regular season and having a nationally relevant sport than I am about making sure my conference dominates the selection process
