I don't see how they could take the SECw team over Georgia, but I don't see how they could justify taking two SEC teams if one of them has two losses. You can't give preference to SEC over champs and then give preference to champ SEC over better resume other conference too, would be using opposing arguments.
Exactly. Suddenly the conference championship has been rendered meaningless, and the SECCG becomes a liability.
Is this what we want?

I think it would be a mistake to send two teams from any conference with the current situation CFB is in.
I do not doubt that the SEC is very likely right in claiming it has more than one of the top four teams, but right now, it's just eye test.
the bowls are about matching up interconference competitions and always have been, crowning a national champion was an afterthought.
In my opinion CFB needs to require all conferences play 9 conference games, and require all the conferences to play 2 power nonconference opponents, as well as completely disregard any stats/results from games against the FCS.
There just aren't enough points of comparison right now to really know what to make of results within each conference. The PAC12 as a conference has taken a huge hit national credibility because conference games. Likewise, the Big12 has gone way up due to conference games. The SECw was considered impossibly deep for a couple weeks. Until we have more information being generated to actually compare teams that don't play each other, it's a mistake to not use the playoff. I would feel way better about an SEC national champ if they had to beat two unfamiliar opponents from other conferences instead of just one.
