Could Georgia jump Clemson if both won out?

One of the commentators brought up a great question (can't remember if it was during our game or not)...
If at the end of the regular season, the top 4 are as follows: 1) Alabama (undefeated) 2) Oregon (undefeated) 3) Clemson (undefeated) 4) Georgia (1 loss) and Georgia beats Alabama in the SEC Championship, while Oregon and Clemson win their conference championships, would Georgia be able to leapfrog Clemson after losing to them first game of the season?
If not, the SEC would not be represented in the BCS National Championship, which many in college football would feel may threaten the order of the world and our nation worse than what's going on in Syria, Iran, and Korea combined.

That is simply not going to happen.
An undefeated Clemson team will not be jumped by a 1 loss UGA team who lost to that Clemson team.
It will simply not happen.

We will have to be on the lookout for an ESPN agenda

being pushed on the CFB world that would favor UGA over us if we were undefeated and they had 1 loss. They have already begun to ask the questions that would set such an agenda in motion. We will have to pound back at anyone who suggests such nonsense.
GO TIGERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There's maybe a chance it happens in some computer

ratings because they don't care about head-to-head results, but it's not going to happen in the human polls, and those are 2/3 of the BCS.

I would hope not

but if they were to beat #1 Bama in the SECCG convincingly, I could see the argument. Too many What Ifs to worry at this point.

An undefeated Oregon team that is flashy and putting up the style points and an undefeated Clemson team that will have wins over four or five top-25 teams (that is if SC doesn't fall out, Maryland continues to stay in top-25 leading up to when we play them, and playing Miami in the ACCCG as they continue to "return"). I'd say they couldn't argue with our schedule then and a 1-loss SEC team shouldn't be in at that point.
The real debate comes if Alabama, Oregon, Ohio State, Clemson, Oklahoma and Louisville are all undefeated at season's end. Who gets in?

Gotta remember, UGA's schedule is easy from here on

They only have 1 game that will even remotely be mentioned in the national media. Their flame will cool over the next 8 weeks.
So no, they won't jump an undefeated team.

YES according to SEC homer Tony Barnhart

He said last night on CSS Talking Football that if THUGA takes cares of business they will play in Pasadena. So that eliminates how many undefeateds?
Hard to understand the minds of the self righteous SEC minds why they think they have a permanent seat in the title game. They are all so asinine.
