I'm a big SEC homer but I really don't see the point in multiple teams from teh SEC in a four team playoff unless there are truly exceptional circumstances. I felt that way in 2006 when LSU had a team that might have beaten anyone in a playoff FWIW - so this isn't a newly acquired philosophy of convenience
The regular season is supposed to mean something after all - and if we take multiple teams from teh same conference we greatly lessen the value of winning the original games between those top teams in the same conference. LSU did not deserve a rematch against Florida in 2006, Michigan did not deserve a rematch against tOSU in 2006, Alabama did not deserve a rematch against Florida in 2008, Florida did not deserve a rematch against Alabama in 2009 and Alabama did not deserve a rematch against LSU in 2011.

I am not sure they needed to fix the BCS, as its only job was to put 1 v 2 in the BCSNCG. I think they needed to fix the BCS Bowl game selection criteria. As for the selection committee, I like it better as I feel that SOS are flawed as you can skew your SOS number, SMS did it in hoops multiple times in the 2000's. With a playoff we will not find out the best team, we will find out who can win 2 more games.
