There is no way — NO WAY — the selection committee would put Alabama/Georgia in the 2-3 or 4-1 game. They know that’s the big money game. They will manipulate the standings after the conference championship games and put Alabama 1 (if they beat Georgia) and Georgia 3, or vice versa if Georgia wins. That way they can put Cincinnati at 4 and make the argument that since Cincinnati is from a “lesser” conference they got placed at 4 despite going undefeated; and put either Michigan or Oklahoma State in at 2. (If they both win their conference championship games, flip a coin.)

They want Alabama vs. Georgia for the championship because that’s the game that would make the most money for the NCAA.

In fact I would even go so far as to predict Alabama beats Georgia in the SECCG so both teams will have one loss. The refs will make sure that happens. That way both teams will have a legitimate argument for being included. Otherwise the other conferences would pitch a fit if a 2-loss Alabama team is picked for the playoffs.
