So now that things are the way they are, go ahead and change things up completely. The bowls are dead, make a playoff.
Can you design a CFB playoff that doesn't use any form of opinion poll?
It seems to me that you should either have a playoff OR opinion polls, not both.
A lot of college football is the 'eyeball test'. Before you bitch about it, remember- LSU 2001 team. Again, that was an 8-3 regular season team. If you go strictly by record and numbers, that team doesn't make it. No chance to even make a playoff, should be no chance at winning a single game. But look at the post-season:
31-20 over #2 Tennessee (10-1), and this with our starting QB injured.
47-34 over #7 Illinois (10-1 and Big Ten champ).
Eyeball test says that team could play with anyone. A Top 4 seed (ie Tennessee
) would NOT want to see that first round matchup. And look further at that team- was 2-2 to start the season. You do that today, the team quits and you're lucky to finish .500, because the year is already toast.
12 or 16 team playoffs, you're not out after 4 games.

Then they should just stick with awarding the championship trophy via polls like they've done for most of CFB's history.

I'm not sure how that is an argument against a tournament of champions.

That's a point in favor of just letting conference champions in the playoffs. If you just took conference champions, teams wouldn't quit as long as they have a shot just to win their conference.
