as the CFP committee's rankings, the SEC would have 6 teams in the playoffs.

Of course that is likely to change a lot between now and then, but IF something like that was how they truly evaluated the teams at the end of the year, would they try and "even things out" a bit, by fudging their rankings to keep one or more conferences from dominating too much? Bad optics?
