I highly doubt the committee would put Baylor in over Saban and Bama, they'd instantly lose credibility.
I don't know man. I'm curious for this year, if Duke pulled of the miracle, how much love Baylor and MSU would have gotten. 4 teams with the current finish? A FSU/MSU/Baylor/AU selection wouldn't be shocking, would it?

I like the four team playoff but the only change I would make is you have win your conference to get in. I think its totally unfair for team who doesn't have to play in a conference championship game to get in. Not only do you get an extra week of rest, the teams playing in the championship games also risk losing players to injury.

The fundamental flaw with the BCS, 4-team playoff, etc appraoches is that thay all miss the ultimate goal: which team has demonstrated its superiority over the most number of other teams. This is not the same as matching the "two best teams" in a final game.
Since the number of teams precludes a round-robin schedule there will always be a measure of subjectivity interjected. Likewise, best 2 of 3, etc are not doable due to the nature of the sport. But these are mitigated by the approach given above.
For example, in 2011, we demonstrated our superiority over the Pac-10 (via Oregon), Big East (via WVU), and the SEC. What wasn't demonstrated was the Big-12 and Big-10. That's why we should've played OkieState.
Until the ultimate goal is corrected the amount of disagreement will continue.
