re: BCS has achieved consensus on 4-team seeded playoff.

Polls aren't objective. They are made with subjective biases. Why don't we just take teams as they are ranked in the RPI? The BCS poll is incredibly subjective, as 2/3 of it is an opinion poll. It is no accurate gauge of quality.

I agree with that for the larger part

If they are really going to do this committee thing then I'd need to hear what their criteria are before I passed more judgement.

If it is going to be about picking the "best team" well then that strikes me as just another opinion poll where we listen to people rationalize their favorite teams deserving of a mulligan. If they were to place an emphasis on respecting the importance of the regular season results then this could be a great thing for college football. Because the biggest risk facing cfb with playoffs is the risk of making cfb just another sport
