But, as presented in the responses, 3 teams COULD be 12-0.
Therefore, per your steps, #'s 1 & 2 won't work.
Yep.
That's going to be a given though. If a scenario exists where more than 2 teams can be undefeated, then an undefeated team will have to be left out by any system that exists.
Just like Auburn didn't get to play in the BCS title game that one year they went undefeated but finished 3rd in the BCS to two other undefeated teams.
The reality is that it's very unlikely to actually happen though. Realistically, having 3 undefeated teams NATIONALLY is rare.

My scenario of 3 undefeated SEC times isn't THAT far-fetched. Like I said, in under 5 minutes, I looked over the schedule and found 3 ranked, traditionally good teams, none of which play each other. We're not speculating on an outlier like Vandy to suddenly run the table. If they keep this schedule, it can eventually happen.
And the really funny thing is, just imagine if the team left out is the one that wins the playoff. You'd have an undefeated SEC team winning the national title, that didn't win the SEC. How weird would that be?
What's more, I did the math for 3 undefeated teams. I didn't bother to try to figure out how many 11-1 teams there could be. I suspect that could be a lot higher.
*if there's too many, there's at least a chance not all make the playoffs. And if that's the case, who do you leave out- the one that ends up with a 2nd loss in the SEC championship?

With a 12 team playoff, who will care? There would be a solid argument that the best spot to be in that scenario would be 3, and out of the sec championship. That team would still be in the playoff, would be seeded higher than the sec championship game loser, and would skip a tough game.
They’ll still stage the game because money, but it’s going to lose a lot of its luster.

Exactly. You can tell that he never had to play Alabama regularly.
