UGA would have 2 losses. State goes
No they wouldn't. If State wins out and loses to UGA in the SECCG, both would have one loss if UGA wins out.
OM would have 1 loss to MSU.

It doesn't matter what happens in the SEC.. only thing that matters is what happens to FSU, Oregon, and ND

I'm telling you... If the Big 12 and Pac 12 both produce two-loss champions, and Notre Dame loses a game, it would be possible to get 3 SEC teams.
But it likely won't play out that way. SEC gets 2 teams, FSU gets in, and then likely Oregon if they can win out.

We deserve 2 teams at this point, and I just don't see the committee letting that happen.

Even if it is clear to everyone in the country that 3 SEC teams are the very best, their is no way in hell that many will be selected for the playoffs. I dont think they will ever select 2 SEC teams but as a homer I wish for it.

Sadly we have no way of knowing what would happen with the committee in any situation. Their criteria for selection is hazy at best...no polls matter and the computers are not in play.
You can bet the controversy will exist as much and probably more than in the old system. Unless every other Big 5 conference and ND have 2 or more losses, especially the conference champions, then the SEC will not get 3 teams in the playoffs.
Still 4 to 5 games left to play and many of these scenarios will vanish before we get to the last week or two.
Does not mean one or two deserving SEC teams will not get screwed.

The whole reason for the committee is to keep 2 teams from the sec from being in the playoff. There will never be more than one, and everyone here needs to understand that and stop with this idea that a second SEC team will ever get invited.
Think about it: the whole reason for a playoff was that the other conferences were tired of all SEC, all the time in the NC. Why go to all that trouble and then have the SEC take half the spots?
The polls can't be trusted: they were the problem in the first place and 1/9 proved that. So we make a small committee that can be given orders: only 1 team from any conference.
