Play them 3 times? Certainly possible
Beat them 3 times? Wouldn’t be necessary cause if we face off 3 times it means we split the first two

Exactly. This is almost the same situation all the talking heads were blathering on about several years back when Bama had Florida on the schedule. I think it was an early October game, and they kept on saying that as long as the first game was close, the result didn't matter as they would meet again in ATL, and that one would matter more for the BCS.

Florida had won the SEC and National Championship in 2008 season. Then lost the SEC to Bama in the 2009 season. 2010 they end up losing to Alabama, then 4 more games.

So yes, Georgia could end up playing Bama 3 times. If they win this weekend in a close game, then lose a close one to Bama in ATL, and that is each team's only loss, they could both get into the playoff. Highly unlikely, but it could happen.
