Georgia beats Auburn in SECCG, but in a very tight game. Like field goal in double OT tight
Clemson, Wisconsin, Oklahoma all win their conference championship
Rankings become:
1. Clemson
2. Oklahoma
3. Wisconsin
4. Alabama
5. Georgia
6. Auburn

If Georgia wins the SECCG Georgia goes the playoff. There's zero chance of anything else.

Winner of SECCG is in. Team names aside, I never think a 2 loss team should be considered. 12 game season you should not lose twice and be in conversation for national championship.

The biggest melt ever would come with an Alabama-Auburn championship game.

If Bama gets a shot without a division title AGAIN, the system needs immediate repeal and replace

Yes, If Georgia wins SECCG they are in playoffs as 1 loss SEC Champs. If Auburn wins, they are probably in as SEC Champs. Your scenario would make more sense if you had said Auburn wins but gets left out, because they are a 2 loss team. No way Georgia is left out I they win.

The melt would be if TCU beats Oklahoma would they jump that far to make it and if Ohio State beats Wisconsin would they jump and make it

Biggest melt scenario would be for:
Clemson, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin to lose
Auburn to beat Georgia
Resulting in a chance for a Bama - Auburn rematch.
Clemson, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin to lose
Auburn to beat Georgia
Resulting in a chance for a Bama - Auburn rematch.

Winner of sec cg goes period. Bamas only hope is a Wisconsin loss and an Oklahoma loss. Then Bama goes head to head with Ohio State. Bama has a better record and Ohio State was given the benefit of the doubt last year and was boat raced. I like Bamas chances in that scenario but if we draw Clemson first game we likely out first round. I think auburn is a better team but considering it's a rivalry and crazy things can happen if we drew Auburn we likely lose but I'd like those odds better.

I'm not certain Alabama gets a shot, but I am absolutely certain that Alabama deserves a shot over an OSU team that has a 31 point defeat to average on its resume.

No way Georgia gets left out if we win this weekend.

I'm just worried about seeing two rematches:
Clemson-Auburn
Alabama-Auburn in the Championship
Clemson-Auburn
Alabama-Auburn in the Championship

This is purely my opinion and not in the rules. I think a 4 team play-off should only ever consist of the 4 conference champs with the best resumes. Not winning your division should 100% rule you out. And yes I'd feel that way if LSU was in bama's position right now.

This. If Ohio State beats Wisconsin and makes it into the playoffs over Bama, that's the only situation that would make me melt. It would be the very opposite logic from last year when they took Ohio State over a 2 loss Penn State Big 10 champ who BEAT them. And it would be ignoring a late season blowout loss to Iowa.
There is no scenario that justifies Ohio State in the playoffs. Even if Oklahoma loses to TCU, then TCU should go over Ohio State - they would have a win over the OU team that smoked tOSU, which would be the most impressive win on either team's schedule.
