I hate the thought of losing to UGA, but you have a very legitimate point. Kinda how things usually workI imagine they see uga beating Tennessee and then beating bama in SECCG. That would give Bama at least two losses. We would potentially be a 1 loss team to the number 1/2 team in the country.
Strangely, as much as I love the thought of winning the sec, the easier path is actually to lose to UGA and then bypass playing another game and slide into playoffs.
