It all depends on the committee. If the star QB for Auburn is out, I guess they won’t invite them to the cfp. But what happens if their starting QB is healthy but their star right tackle, star cornerback and star place kicker are out?

No no that logic doesn't apply for SEC teams. Georgia got a bye after their starter went down. And then they got smacked around by ND. Shocking nobody but the SEC fanboys.
