They may have no choice.

What if Alabama, LSU, and Tennessee all go undefeated in games not against each other? Say you have a situation like this:

12-0 LSU
11-1 Alabama (loss to LSU in Baton Rouge)
12-2 Tennessee (loss to Alabama at home and LSU in Atlanta)

If you really want to make things complicated, then ponder what would happen if Tennessee lost to Alabama in the regular season, but beat LSU in Atlanta.... it'd look like this:

12-1 Tennessee (loss to Alabama at home)
12-1 LSU (loss to Tennessee in Atlanta)
11-1 Alabama (loss to LSU in Baton Rouge)

Regardless, if these 3 teams somehow finish the year only losing to one another, its going to be pretty difficult for the committee to not take at least 2 SEC teams. Only if the conference champion of one of the other Power leagues is undefeated does it sort itself out.

Watch out for Houston or San Diego State. Both teams are good enough and have schedules easy enough to run the table and go undefeated. The media might champion their right to play for it all if they want to try to keep an extra SEC team out.
