1) LSU very likely wins so this is a don't care,
2) the committee doesn't care about rematches, they seed them as they believe the teams are ranked.
For instance, had Notre Dame beat UGA this year and won out and made the playoff, you are saying that either they or possible SEC champ UGA can't both be in the playoff. There's no such criteria.
Or in 2017, had Ohio State not lost a stinker to Iowa and instead were a 1 loss B1G champ, you are saying the committee would not let both Oklahoma and Ohio State be in the playoff because a possible rematch could have happened. No! All season long, people were hoping for the rematch.
Nowhere in their criteria are they to either consider or prevent rematches.

I never said there was any such criteria, and I never said it wans't possible. I said it's never happened and I suspect the committee would ideally like to avoid it.

Nowhere in their criteria does it say you have to win your conference either but they've clearly shown that they take that into account, considering 90% of all playoff teams have done so.
