re: My Idea for a play off while keeping the regular season.

8 teams.
5 auto-berths for BCS conference champions
3 berths for highest rated non-BCS champions based on SOS
Get RID of ALL polls.
Tell Notre Dame to join a conference already, or STFU.
If you can't win your conference, you shouldn't play for the national championship - apparently there was a better team in your conference, so you don't get a mulligan. It doesn't matter that other conference champions have an easier path, SOMEONE has to win the SEC, they should represent the conference.
Regular season maintains importance, conference races maintain importance, playoff is a tournament of champions - not 'wildcard' teams looking for a do-over.

I think 3 non BCS teams in an 8 team playoff is too many. And while I like the whole conference champions only angle, I just dont think it would work. It's very hard to justify keeping a 11-1 non SEC Champ out of an 8 team playoff and have 3 non-BCS teams get in. I say you have 1 guaranteed spot for highest rated non-BCS School to allow them to have a shot then the final 2 spots go to the highest rated non-Conferenece Champ. Seeding would be based on BCS ranking. That way the #1 seed won't end up having to play the #3 in the first round if say LSU was conf champ and Bama was one of the wild card spots. More than likely the #1 would play the non- BCS qualifier.
Goes against your whole "no mulligan" point but I think it would work better and give a team that lost an early game to a conf rival something to still fight for.
