This. I have no problem with this scenario and think it should only be conference champions.
The team in the SEC this helps is the bias Alabama usually gets from subjective voters. They will scream to add Alabama very year as an at large every time Alabama fails to win the conference. They won't do that for any other team in the conference, but I don't believe in a non champion participant.

My biggest fear is that instead of picking the 4 best TEAMS irregardless of everything else, they will pick teams based on what the network wants:
* REGIONALISM - picking a team from diverse parts of the country to prop ratings (LSU, Bama, FSU, UT not going to happen)
* HEISMAN POWER - LSU a better team for the 4 seed, but say Clemson has the Heisman winner, or top candidate, a media JFF type - Tigers out most likely
* PC PER CONFERENCES - no way the playoff picks 2 SEC teams in consecutive years..."let's spread it around to keep interest up"
* FINALLY, WHAT ESPN REALLY WANTS EVERY YEAR - Notre Dame, Alabama, Ohio State/Michigan, USC
A four team playoff doesn't help LSU or the rest of the SEC (except for Bama). An 8 team playoff, maybe, but 16 would be ideal. Maybe the next go round.
