A lot of college football is the 'eyeball test'.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
