Can a 3 loss team make the playoff with an at large berth? It wouldn't be exactly uncommon if we had had a 12 team playoff the last ten years.

2014- At least three 3-loss teams would've made it. Two would've made it without playing in a conference championship game.
2015- none
2016- At least four 3-loss teams. Two without making a conference championship game.
2017- Auburn, but none as a an at large non participant in a conference championship game.
2018- Three 3-loss teams as non conference championship game participants.
2019- Wisconsin, but lost their conference championship game.
2020- Florida and Iowa State as conference champion losers, but most schools only played 10 or less games this year.
2021- none
2022- none
2023- none

Thoughts:

- It happened six out of ten if you count conference championship game losers and three out of ten for teams without champ. game appearances.
- It may be more likely to happen now with two conferences towering above all others in overall strength.
- I have no doubt we'd be in if we took a third loss in the SECCG.
