IT DEPENDS ON THE OTHER P5 CHAMPS if ACC/Big 10/Pac12/Big12 champs all have 0-1 loss, the SEC is only getting 1 team in. Period. End of story.

This wasn’t the point of the thread. There are obviously scenarios where a 1 loss SEC runner up doesn’t get in.
Now to address your argument, only one team in the ACC and PAC12 is getting in with 1 loss over a 1 loss SEC runner up and that’s Clemson or USC. No one loss Big12 teams are getting in without multiple 2 loss champs in other leagues.

false

never in the history of the playoffs has a 1 loss P5 champion been excluded at the benefit of a non-champion. You can guess and speculate all you want but I'm going by actual decisiosn the committee has made over 8 years.

However, when it does happen, it’s likely Starks on Hyatt who might be the top 5 safety in the country atm. He is fast and gives up nothing

A fast safety will do it. Hellams is a solid safety in help over the top and a great run defender but he’s not very fast. Tenn exploited that the whole game.

Okie St was ranked 9th going into the Big12 Championship last year where they lost. Had they won there is no way they jump 5 spots to get in front of Cincy. Much less leave out UGA. The teams one loss matters too. Iowa St was a terrible loss the committee had no intention of ignoring.

2) OkSt was 5th, not sure where in the world you're getting 9th. They were 5th at 11-1 entering CCG weekend against another top 10 team.

Because I looked at the wrong weeks ranking. Lol
Okie St still only jumps Cincy not UGA if they beat Baylor.
