Not sure why you even included AU with 3 losses lol.

Bama is obvious
Clemson is obvious

Oregon at 12-1, P5 Champ, and quality loss in week 1 would go

That leaves Texas and Wisconsin as your last option, and I think the committee would defer to UW having just 1 loss.

There is precedent for a 2 loss team to go, considering 2017 AU would have been a mortal lock had they beaten us in the SECCG. But Texas isn't getting in over another P5 champ with 1 loss that just beat OSU.

Auburn and Florida were included to show the overall strength of the SEC.

Georgia and LSU would each have 3 wins against Top 12 teams and a loss only to the #1 overall team, yet at least one of those would be left out of the playoff in all likelihood. Meanwhile a team like Clemson woudld have played zero Top 25 teams yet somehow get the benefit of the doubt.

You think they'd go over a 12-1 Wisconsin or 12-1 Ohio State? The PAC 12 is weak this year.
