Does the SEC get left out of the playoffs if the winner has 2 losses?

I don't see how if the SEC West teams have only lost to each other.

I say no. All the top SEC West teams (except LSU) are very highly ranked, and LSU should join them if we beat Bama. Hard to see a 2-loss champion from the West being left out.

Unlikely. There will be at least one team from the SEC.

They'd never leave the SEC out unless the conference champion had 3 losses and all other power conference champions have either no losses or 1.

I think the committee would jump at the chance to leave out the SEC.

That is my fear also.

everyone will have 2 losses when it is all said and done (except FSU)

I don't think there is any way you get all four of those finishing with one loss, first of all. I'll note that you forgot to mention Notre Dame, but hopefully they'd get skipped over anyway.

If it did happen, it might depend on the team. If Georgia wins out, that might be a tough argument since the only West opponent of consequence will have been Auburn. If Auburn loses to Alabama, they could end up 5th in the SEC West.

If Miss. St. somehow wins the SEC West with two losses, that would be another poor candidate. Late losses are worse, they didn't beat anyone out of conference, and their only SEC East opponents were Kentucky and Vandy.

Anyone else, I don't see them getting left out.

If they lose a game, they're out

The committee would joyously leave out a two loss SEC team. The rest of the nation would share their joy and righteousness.
