Briefly contemplated this after I saw the results from last night…
If Baylor beats Oklahoma, and If Georgia loses a close one to LSU, then the argument for putting Georgia in as the fourth team anyway is going to be hot, based on resume'.
But also keep in mind Baylor's one loss would have been to the team it just beat.

… but, nah, that’s not gonna happen. Baylor would be a one-loss conference champ. There ain’t enough SEC bias in the world for the selection committee to take a two-loss Georgia over that.

“Not playing for NIL deals. Not playing to go viral. Not playing for TikTok,” (Nolan) Smith said. “Playing for the guy next to you and being able to push with him through tough situations. I would love for the guys to take that into next year. Don’t play for money. Play for your ‘why’ — why you play football.”-- The Athletic, 7/20/22

I think Oregon would have a good chance in that scenario.
They like conf champs. Oregon challenged themselves OOC, Baylor did not.

But does the committee want Baylor in after all the mess it has been involved in?

The South Carolina loss is inexcusable. If the Dawgs get left out because they lose a close one to LSU they have no argument and no one to blame but themselves. Just win baby.

If there ever is a two loss team in the playoff it wont be a Georgia that’s for sure.

Agree, Dawgs have to win to get a spot. Absolutely no reason to leave out a conference champ, especially to a 2 loss, non-champ. BTW, what Matt Rhule has done in 2 years at Baylor is remarkable. Tough, blue collar team similar to what he built at Temple. Defense is legit, nice to see a low scoring Big 12 game.
