Nope...

Hell Notre Dame will likely get in if they win out. It's all about ratings.

1 loss Bama is in no matter what.

If Georgia loses 1 in regular season and wins SECCG, they are in.

If Georgia is undefeated but loses SECCG by an score to Bama, they are out.

1 loss ND jumps 1 loss Georgia no matter what. Head to head matchup will be downplayed as early season, one point game. Heck, in that scenario, even the fact that Georgia filled half their stadium will be used in favor of putting notre dame in over Georgia.

Similar scenarios could play out to get a 1 loss Clemson, Ohio State, etc in over UGA.

The only way Georgia is assured a spot, imo, is to win out. 12-1 losing to Bama in SECCG is out no matter what. 12-1 winning SECCG could be in or out depending on what other teams are there. Bottom line is the committee will default to biggest names and perceived strength of brand.
