It seems you are just taking 3 BCS games and making them playoff games.
the BCS money (which actually isn't that much money) is split by specific rules. each conference gets x dollars for their first team (with all 6 BCS conferences obviously getting an automatic shot at this first set), and you get x dollars for a 2nd team (no 3rd team allowed). non-BCS conferences get x dollars if a member school makes it
playoffs = bigger TV deal likely, which = more money to split
you don't have conference tie-ins with a 4-team playoff, and the conferences won't split money evenly

I see.
Just as an idea what if you just added a games (Cotton) and kept the same BCS rules:
EX:
REGULAR BCS GAMES:
Cotton
Rose
Sugar
PLAYOFFS:
Fiesta
Orange
Championship Game.
No conference can have more than 2 teams etc...
It would seem that the smaller schools would benefit from the added 2 slots.
The main sticking point there is still how to distribute the Championship game money. But its a start.
