1) You have absolutely lost your mind if you think oregon would be 11th in this scenario

Here is my reasoning:

1. Oregon would be one of 6 one-loss teams and they'd be one of just two of those seven without a win over a Top 12 team.

Georgia would have wins over Notre Dame, Auburn, and Florida
LSU would have wins over Texas, Auburn, and Florida
Wisconsin would have a win over Ohio State
Ohio State would have a win over Wisconsin
Oklahoma would have a win over Texas

Only Notre Dame and Oregon would be 1-loss teams without a Top 12 win under their belt. And Notre Dame's would have been in a true road game against Georgia, who would have beaten the one team Oregon lost to (Auburn) in a neutral site game.

On top of that, Texas would have only lost to Oklahoma and LSU.... with a win also over Oklahoma.

Auburn would have only lost to Alabama, LSU, and Georgia (all likely Top 6 teams) while they beat Oregon head-to-head.

Oregon having lost to the 4th best team in the SEC on a neutral field kinda hurts them despite having just one loss, IMO.

2) UGA would not be getting in. Texas would also have a lot better case than I think you give them credit for.

Why not? You'd have 1-loss Georgia, Ohio State, and LSU with the best shot at the 4th spot, IMO. None would have a conference Championship. Georgia and Ohio State would have one extra win compared to LSU, and Georgia would have played a much more difficult schedule than Ohio State.
