I doubt it would ever grow beyond 8 at most
here's why i think 8 is the solution...note that i think 8 is too many, but here's why i think it works.
1. If you take the 6 conference champs, you're saying to them, if you do A, you get B. This is the part of the current system that John Q Public doesn't like, so he's satisfied. It's objective. Not one team, outside of ND and the few other independents, can say they didn't have a chance.
2. You use the BCS system to determine the other two...deserving teams in strong conferences have a chance of getting in...if they don't though, see #1.
I know the argument against it will be that weak teams could luck into a championship like the NFL or March Madness, but i think the disparity between the haves and have nots in college football is big enough so that doesn't happen. In fact, i think the current system is just aching for a Boise or TCU to win a title. all they have to do is get into the game (and they were a missed FG and Bama meltdown against AU) from it happening in 2010. And like i said, 8 is too many imo, but it's a compromise to the 32 team free for all that some favor.
what's being suggested by the administrators is nothing new...it's merely an expansion of the current system.

That's really not a bad plan, and i agree 8 is too many, as long as its not just the 6 BCS conferences get an AQ. If you could, take the top 6 conference winners as long as they are in the top say 12-15, so no unranked UConn gets in for winning the Big East. If you don't have 6 top 12-15 conference winners, then the next non conference winners get in.
