re: SEC Stands to Gain Some Serious $$$ if Georgia Wins

f Georgia wins, LSU - Bama goes to the NC game and Georgia goes to the Sugar Bowl, the SEC stands to bring in an additional $12 million or so. That's based on the difference between having the top SEC team after LSU-BAMA in the Sugar ($17m payout) vs having them in the Cap One ($4.6m payout), and each SEC team behind them moving up a bowl.

If LSU wins, it will be either LSU-BAMA with the big BCS payday in the BCSCG, or LSU in that game and Bama in the Sugar.

The BCS doesn't work that way. The second team gets about what the Cap One pays. The 3rd team would probably get about the same. They front load the first BCS team so they can keep the payouts to the various BCS conferences reasonably close.
