Otherwise I think 1 loss power conference champs go above any combination that sets up a divisional rematch. That said, there may not be enough power conference 1 loss champs to fill out the bracket and certainly they take SECw#2 over Marshall or ECU or w/e
I'm not sure if any SEC fans here are saying that the SEC will definitely get two teams into the playoffs. Some are saying the SEC
should get two teams in based on merit, which is fair for now but there's still plenty of season left to play.
I'd also be surprised if ESPN would prefer Miss State or Ole Miss over several other possible teams, including Notre Dame, Ohio State, and Oregon. Some of the ESPN talking heads may even be arguing that two SEC teams should get in but that's different from whether from a ratings perspective ESPN would prefer that outcome.
