UGA wouldn’t remain highest ranked in that scenario.
They would in the rankings. Not in the final playoff selection criteria.
If UGA wins out it's unlikely they'll be passed by anyone. They'll be adding wins over Ole Miss and Tennessee to their wins over Texas and Clemson. They'll finish 1st or 2nd in the rankings... but 3rd in the SEC standings.
They'd be the 5-seed in the playoff.

A&M would be 8-0 in your example.. so A&M would play LSU in Atlanta.
I don’t really care about Atlanta.. and I said it before the season. The SEC CG is gonna cause more problems than not, and I think it will go away soon.
If Texas wins out, we are 11-1 and in the playoffs.
If Texas loses 1, we are 10-2 and maybe a 50% shot to make it or get left out.
Obviously we are out at 9-3 or worse..
We could go 5-0 or 0-5.

12-1 > 11-1
13-0 is greater than 12-1 too... but two 12-1 P5 teams got in ahead of a 13-0 team last year.
In the example originally given, if A&M beats LSU in the regular season, for the SEC champion to be 12-1 it would have to be A&M. That means their resume would be a win over Texas, a win over Mizzou, 2 wins over LSU and a loss to ND. 4 of those games at home and 1 neutral site.
UGA would have a win over Texas, Clemson, Tennessee, Ole Miss and a loss to Bama. 3 of those games on the road, one a neutral site and 1 at home.
UGA would remain ahead of them in the rankings. A&M would be seeded ahead of UGA in the tournament (due to the top 4 seeds being required to be conference champs).

If UGA wins out it’ll absolutely be the highest ranked SEC team.
In your scenario, aTm is 8-0 in SEC play so there is no tie breaker between them and Georgia. aTm is in Atlanta

Notice how 12-1 has one more game played than 11-1. Thus a better win %.
Not an apples to apples comparison especially since we’re talking about teams from the same comference.

You get stuck with an extra playoff game if you don't make the SECCG and win it though.

AM doesn’t have a conference loss, so if they beat LSU and win out
Yep. I am wrong.
In this scenario those two play again.

But it washes with playing SECCG and you get a home game against a lesser opponent than SECCG and an extra week off end of season.
