Oops! Sorry, I thought you meant played in the national championship, since you mentioned that UGA had no business even thinking of playing in the game since they won't have won the SEC Championship. It has happened in the past and given our topsy-turvy college football world this year, nothing should shock anyone anymore.
I think the last non-conference champion who won at least a share of the national championship was UT in 1950. I could be wrong, as I am not a UT fanatic. If you know, please enlighten me!
Not all of the SEC play fluff OOC games. That's one thing UGA has been working on the last few years. Last year, UGA played Boise State and Colorado. This year, UGA beat OK State and Troy. Next year, we pick up Arizona State University. Of course, we always play GA Tech every year, too.
