@ELA what do you do about 2012, when Wisconsin won* the conference? Wouldn't they get the B1G's automatic bid?
Couple things.

Without divisions, they wouldn't have been in the championship game, even as it was.

And I didn't account for who won the title, because for portions of this 7 of the teams weren't even actually in the conference to "win" it.

Gotcha. I didn't realize you were playing by the new 2024 rules.

From this Sallee fellow, just guesswork of course.

UGA would have to have beaten Ole Miss, Texas, and Alabama on the road, maybe losing one, and then winning again in the CG.

They also play Clemson in ATL.  Seems like a tough job even for a very good team.

Everyone has a few redeeming qualities. 

For example, I'll bet that Jerry Sandusky never once sped through a school zone.

Ahhh, 2012.
.
1 Alabama vs winner of 9 LSU @ 8 Georgia
.
4 FSU vs winner of 12 Northern Illinois @ 5 Notre Dame
.
3 Stanford vs winner of 11 South Carolina @ 6 Florida
.
2 Kansas St vs winner of 10 Texas A&M @ 7 Oregon
.
Without any Texas/OU help, the SEC would have gotten 6 teams in the 12-team playoff.
#1 ND would be a 5-seed.
The MAC champ was ranked higher than any Big East team, so they don't matter.
Oregon is 4 seeds lower than Stanford, the PAC champ, despite being ranked 2 spots higher in the BCS standings.
Florida is a 6-seed despite being ranked 3rd.
Alabama's 2nd round game is guaranteed to be a rematch.
The 6 vs 11 game is a rematch.
FSU, while being ranked 12th in the BCS, is a 4 seed.
K-State is the 2-seed, but ranked 5th after allowing 50+ points to unranked Baylor.
Lastly, #1 ND could win 4 games and the national championship as the lower seed in every game.
