If the four deserving teams are from the Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC, more than likely the committee will make sure the Big 12 and SEC –- no matter what the ranking, because there’s a difference between ranking and seeding –- will play in the new bowl game created between the two leagues, and the Big Ten and Pac-12 will almost certainly play each other in the Rose Bowl. At the same time, the SEC will get what it wants with a fallback in case it has two juggernauts like it did in 2011.
So if SEC and Big 12 are #1 and #2 they could play a semifinal while #3 and #4 go at it in a the other semi

I'm a big SEC homer but I really don't see the point in multiple teams from teh SEC in a four team playoff unless there are truly exceptional circumstances. I felt that way in 2006 when LSU had a team that might have beaten anyone in a playoff FWIW - so this isn't a newly acquired philosophy of convenience
The regular season is supposed to mean something after all - and if we take multiple teams from teh same conference we greatly lessen the value of winning the original games between those top teams in the same conference. LSU did not deserve a rematch against Florida in 2006, Michigan did not deserve a rematch against tOSU in 2006, Alabama did not deserve a rematch against Florida in 2008, Florida did not deserve a rematch against Alabama in 2009 and Alabama did not deserve a rematch against LSU in 2011.
