This has always been the issue; you have 5 conferences and ND
How you can make a "new" system that is still broken is beyond me. Looking back, to think that Baylor should have been ranked ahead of OSU last year is laughable, but there are a % of people, including OSU fans, who weren't sure how good OSU was in 2014. Last year there were absolutely 6 teams 'deserving' of the 4 spots. This year it worked out better for who should be in, but there were upsets during the year that although those 4 were the right teams to get in, they may not have been the strongest.
A system can't work perfectly every year, but if there is a year where the SEC and B1G champ have 2 losses each, and the other 3 have 1 loss champs and ND has 1 or 0 losses, there will be all out hell
since those 2 conferences have honestly a lot of the power

It's because the "system" has always been flawed. 1A football limits the playoff to 3% of the teams, with little to no requirements to how those teams are chosen.
There is rarely debate regarding who gets in the NFL, MLB, NBA playoffs. And that's because they have set requirements to determine the participants. Sure there are some years where, due to division and conference alignments, some silly things happen and people get upset. But 1A college football has debate EVERY season.
