I don’t see how Alabama could play Georgia in the Peach Bowl. One of those teams would lose the SEC championship and I don’t see them playing in back to back games. SEC might get two teams in this year but I don’t see it in this situation.

IF:

Florida beats UGA in regular season and wins the East
UGA falls to ~#6
Alabama wins West and beats Florida in SECCG
UGA wins remaining games and moves up to #4 after SECCG

It's similar to what happened in 2017

Which would also mean UF has a win against LSU (likely putting them at 10-2) assuming UGA doesn't have a second SEC loss.
