Here is how Bama could get fricked in all this...
LSU wins out including a convincing win over Bama
One loss Bama to SECCG
One loss UF to SECCG
Playoff committee selects resurgent LSU over SEC Champion.
Fat chance in hell but possible. The Bama melt would be so bad Sankey would be fired immediately on the spot.
I don't know what it is about this that is so difficult for people...mostly LSU and UT fans to understand. If for no other reason, the SEC absolutely will not leave millions of TV dollars on the table due to an unplayed UF/LSU game. This game absolutely will be played, in the scenario that causes the least disruption to the conference. Imagine the TV payday by playing the first Saturday in December and pushing the SECCG game back a week, for example.

The SEC doesn't get payed on a per game basis with ESPN. They're not leaving any money on the table. ESPN could lose money from sponsors during the telecast, though

That scenario will not happen. Playoff selection day is the day following the SECCG and immediately following that is the Bowl selections. The entire CFB world is not going to reschedule everything because the SEC cant manage their business...
