I don't have a problem with them either. What they need to do is be clear more than anything. If they want to have a system, have a system that people understand.
I think its a clear as can be with out saying they will simply take the top 4 or only conference winners. When anything is unsure, there will be some angst. I like the committee because it can be flexible (example I used, taking #5 Oregon over #4 Stanford in 2011 or #5 Stanford over #4 Oregon in 2012. Stuff like that. Until they do something really outrageous, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. If the playoff this year was FSU-Baylor, Auburn-MSU, who besides Bama fans could really complain?

that's the opposite of clear. That's saying you could do one thing with one rationale or you could do something else with an entirely different rationale.
one approach values the BCS formula and the other treats conferences as divisions from which teams qualify for the playoff.

Common sense tells us that even though Bama was #2, they lost to LSU at home. IF every game is supposed to count then LSU should have played OSU.

The current BCS system still has flaws when it comes to the personal opinions of the voters. Even though I like the computer rankings I still think they have some flaws as well. The committee has the ability to look at all of these things and make common sense adjustments.
This deal is not trying to screw the SEC from playing for the NC, just trying to prevent 2 teams from the same conference from playing without consideration of other conference champions.
I have no problem with a 2-loss conference champion getting a bid over a 1-loss SEC team that didn't win its division and didn't play an extra game.
The exception is the Big 12 because they don't have a championship game.
