Texas/TAM winner vs. UGA

First tie breaker is head to head. 2nd tie breaker is common opponents. A&m beat Arkansas. We didn't beat any teams that beat them.

Help me out because I’m not understanding. Why does Texas A&M go to the championship if they win. They have two SEC losses just like us and Georgia. IF they won vs Texas why would that automatically put them in when you then have 4 teams with 2 conference losses. What’s the tie breaker?
And I apologize if this has been discussed somewhere. I did a quick search and didn’t see it.

4 teams would have 2 losses in conference. Georgia holds head to head over Texas and UT. Am holds head to head over Texas if they win. Then it goes to common opponents. Arkansas beat us. Aggies beat Arkansas.
