Unfortunately if Bama loses to UGA, I can see ND getting in over Bama. UGA only beat ND by one point.The problem will come if UGA and Alabama are competing against other 1 loss blue bloods.
Not many will want a rematch between UA and UGA if one (especially UGA) just lost their last game to the other.
I could honestly see Notre Dame getting in over a 1 loss UGA if the circumstances are just right.
This could be the year the SEC championship prevents two SEC teams from getting 2 spots in the playoff.
If Auburn had taken care of Clemson the SEC would look much stronger.
