8 teams, 5 P5 champions, 3 G5 champions based on SOS.
Want to go to the playoffs? Win your conference.
We shouldn't get in the playoff - because we didn't win our conference?
Playoffs, in every major sport, reward conference/division winners with auto playoff bids, but also include deserving wild card teams - because leagues know that championship calibre teams may not have won their conference, for a variety of reasons.
But that shouldn't automatically exclude them from the playoffs.

That's right, UGA gets the spot because they won.

Look it up, no one used to have "wildcards" until TV started generating so much revenue.
But a tournament of champions is the most fair way to determine the field. for a playoff. There are no "opinion polls" to bias towards popular teams, all the conferences get a chance to participate in the playoff, making it more representative. It would just be best for college football, imo.
