...howza bout a 'play-in game'???
Washington is a lock.
Michigan is a lock.
Texas is a 'more or less' lock.
SO...
Let Bama and FSU play in two weeks to determine who gets the fourth spot...
...y'all got any better ideas?

RE: ...howza bout a 'play-in game'???
..well, yeah, but this would have been the best solution...
Committee could have just said, "We have a tie at #4, thus a 'play-in game' will be required"... ...would anyone have had a problem with it? OR the extra $$$$ it would have generated?
Not arguing the fact that the SEC needs to have a representative in the playoffs, and, you can argue that Bama isn't the same as they were in September (yeah, the Iron Bowl, but Jordan-Hare is Kryptonite to Sa-Bear  ) ...as much as the FSU team is offensively hindered presently... ...honestly a Bama/FSU play-in game would have been awesome, as FSU looks to have one of the top defenses in the country.
I DO agree this will 'expedite the process' of FSU and whomever else exiting the ACC, no matter the $$$$ ramifications... ...and the B1G would seem to be the destination now... Lawyer up, y'all...

My old playoff format would have been 5+1+2. Florida State, Georgia, and a Missouri-Ohio State wild card winner make the playoff (oh, and with whomever is the G5 rep).

Why stop at 1 play-in game? Why don't Georgia and Ohio St deserve a play-in game too?
Wash VS Ohio St
FSU VS bama
Tex VS Georgia

Wash VS Ohio St
FSU VS bama
Tex VS Georgia
Throw in Oregon vs. Michigan for good measure, and pair Liberty vs. Missouri in another bowl.
