Teams have a right to bitch about march madness because there's no clear cut guidelines; it's left up to humans to pick the teams.
Seriously?
Can I hear your football playoff plan that will not be left up to the humans?

I'm not sure, but how much human influence does calculating strength of schedule have? This is not calling anyone out, just trying to see how things would work out.
Simple way: conference winners go to the playoffs. NBA does it, NFL does it, etc. They have no need for human polling, and no room for bitching because you got left out. I understand that leads to the problem with non-BCS-conference schools:
1) 8 team playoff, with BCS and non-BCS schools
6 BCS conference winners get in automatically; use strength of schedule for 1-6 rankings (if SOS has human influence, it doesnt matter at this point with these 6 teams, because they didn't get left out).
Here is the tricky part, and I would need to think about this a bit more. You could take the next two teams with the best record; if there are 2+ teams with the same record, use SOS to pick the top 2. This might have some human influence, but like I said, I don't know how much SOS is influenced by humans.
2) Ideally, force independents to join a BCS conference, and if necessary, make an additional 2 conferences. Then you can just say boom, eight conferences winners, eight team playoff.
