Disagree - there are a couple of situations that do not bear this out - Auburn etc, but you cannot say that the two best teams have not played for it after conference championships knock same conference teams out.

It's really quite simple. You could keep the "heart" in college football and still use a playoff to determine the best team. Use the BCS to rank the teams throughout the year. The top 8 teams are seeded 1 plays 8, 2 plays 7, etc. Use the Rose, Orange, Sugar, and Fiesta for the first round. Upgrade two of the best non-BCS bowls (Capitol One, maybe the Cotton, or create two new bowls) Rotate the bowls just like we do now with two bowls acting as the second round playoff. Finally, you have your National Championship game. End of story. To win the national championship, a team has to play 2 more games. Big Deal. Something needs to be done about this shitty system we have now.

...but not all conference champions have a chance to compete for the title. That is the whole problem. If there is parity in the conference with the most talent, no team from that conference may play for the championship. Meanwhile, the Big-ten champion gets in with a much easier schedule.
