so we should give teams more incentive towards scheduling weaker opponents
not necessarily, but you could argue Stanford/Oklahoma till the cows come home and be right on both sides of the argument. That doesn't get fixed going to 8 teams. They made the call, and left out the team with 2 losses. Oklahoma won a P5 conference with 1 loss and looked very good down the stretch. I don't see the big issue.
At least in the scenario above, we can argue 2 good teams. With an 8-team playoff, we would have been arguing over FSU, Notre Dame, or Houston getting in

under ideal circumstances, 8 is too many playoffs teams, but in college football as it stands today - its a necessity.
regular season scheduling is largely regional and, as such, it is ruining our abilities to effectively evaluate different conferences at the national level - that is why we need more playoff games in order to do so.
Ohio State, Stanford, and even Houston could all have been viable playoff candidates.
