In the case of the SEC, it wouldnt make much sense to leave out the runner-up in the conference then put in teams that finished behind them.
This would be asinine:
1st place - Texas - first rd bye
2nd place - Bama - no playoff bid
3rd place - Georgia - home playoff bid
4th place - Ole Miss - playoff bid
5th place - Tennessee - playoff bid
The only time it would make sense would be possibly in the case of the ACC where there were only two teams competing for two spots in the playoffs.

The injury risk alone is not worth it. Why don't the schools just band together and give the SEC office a few million to cancel it.
Because ESPN & FOX Sports make the actual decisions, not Sankey nor school AD’s and chancellors.
It’s just mind baffling to this generation that for decades a conference champion was determined and crowned through the meat-grinder that was a conference schedule. Instead, they whored themselves out for additional millions and installed a conference “Championship” game.
Also, for decades and even continuing to this present season the NCAA has been capable of determining and administering a postseason football championship at every level of play sans the division I level. For Christ’s sake, every state in this country can competently run a high school state championship from 8-man football to 6A…but do$$ar bills ya’ll!

The committee would set an unbelievably bad precedent in year 1 of this format by leaving out the SECCG loser.
A 3 loss team isn't getting in, even if that 3rd loss comes in the SECCG.
The only way the SECCG loser gets in is if Texas is 11-1 and loses to Bama in the SECCG.

Against policy to eliminate conference game loser . A positive or neutral data point ,
