Okay how about choose 4
Oh wait, why would you when there are clearly two teams above the rest.
2005
1 USC 12-0
2 Texas 12-0
3 Penn State 10-1
4 Ohio State 9-2
5 Oregon 10-1
6 Notre Dame 9-2
7 Georgia 10-2
8 Miami (Fla.) 9-2
9 Auburn 9-2
10 Virginia Tech 10-2
2002
1 Miami 12-0
2 Ohio State 13-0
3 Georgia 12-1
4 USC 10-2
5 Iowa 11-1
6 Washington St. 10-2
7 Oklahoma 11-2
8 Kansas State 10-2
9 Notre Dame 10-2
10 Texas 10-2
Anyway, maybe "most years" was probably incorrect. I've never seen a need for 8 teams though.

Realistically, you can't. I'd say Florida, Oklahoma, Texas and Southern Cal, but that's post-hoc speaking. (OU and Texas won their bowl games while TT didn't *and* TT played the weakest opponent of the three; Southern Cal blew out Penn State in the Rose Bowl; the rest either come from AQ conferences and are the product of soft schedules, or lost their bowl game to aforesaid undeserving teams.) Making an argument at the time would have been virtually impossible.
4 is better on the whole, though. This and 2007 were the exceptions to the rule. I'd probably favor a 6-team playoff (top 2 teams get 1st-wk BYEs), but that's as far as it should go. (With six teams you add Alabama and Utah/Penn State/Texas Tech and call it a playoff in 08.)
The best thing that could be done is a variable-number playoff. For your 2002, 2005 type seasons, just do #1 vs #2. For your 2011 type seasons, do 4-team playoff. For your 2007 and 2008 seasons, do 8-team.
