It was unlikely before in the #1 vs. #2 system, but now with 4 teams the chances have to be remote.
i'm not sure if TV or the Host Cities really care if they get SEC #1 or SEC #2 (same with B12). all they care about are travelling butts and TV eyeballs, both of which will be completely fine with #2 from either league knowing that Arlington, TX and NOLA are the 2 most likely landing spots.
