If the scenario of 2011 repeats (undefeated LSU, 1 loss Bama), there will likely be 2 SEC teams in the playoff. They only way it won't is if the ACC, B10, B12, PAC have 3 undefeated teams.
Just being honest, I don't think LSU gets a mulligan if Bama is undefeated and LSU has only the 1 loss.

I believe C. Rice's presence > importance of conference champion. Like I said, I don't believe LSU (or most other teams) could break into the playoff as a non-conference champ.
However, it might be possible if either: 1) it's a 2007 kind of year in the other conferences or 2) the SEC dominates all the key ooc match-ups (like Aub and Ole Miss winning week 1, etc.) and the Bama-LSU were to be an OT nail-biter Bama squeaking it out on a miracle play kind of thing. Then perhaps, but likely even then only if the committee felt inclined to give LSU a "turn-about is fair play" shot.
