Another solution is to only allow 8 teams, but how do you eliminate 2 conference champions objectively?
there would be debate between the #7, 8, 9, & 10th ranked conference champs but ultimately that doesn't matter IMO because teams ranked that low are not the #1 team in the country on the basis of the 12 or 13 game season already played. That's the point - finding the team that deserves to be #1 is what a playoff should be about.
FWIW, IMO you could take the top six ranked conference champs but still be confident you haven't left out the best team in the country. A six team playoff would probably be stronger overall since you'd avoid some hapless teams from the 7 & 8 spot being smashed by 1 and 2 seeds.
