The fact that the system does not have a clear cut standard and the teams are totally at the discretion of a committee is an absolute joke. It's exactly why playoffs are stupid in college football.
All of the criteria that the selection committee uses has been made public actually.

Except for the fact that some say Conference Champions weighs heavily on it and others say doesnt matter, best 4.

Yes, the criteria that they use or take into account has been made public, but how they use it and how they weigh each aspect hasn't and won't.
In the end the answer will be, "because we said so".
There is room for leeway, which means that anyone on that committee can interpret the information as they see fit. Instead of hundreds of opinions and computers using a formula, now we have the opinions of a select few.

even though many do not like the BCS.. and I must agree that in some cases there was a strong argument for the 3rd team and in some cases the 4th team, there was rarely a case to be made for the 5th team...
thus my point.
the math/computer formula system should have been kept and 2 more teams just added into the mix without a committee. The committee just ads POLITICS into the mix, As knowledgeable as some of these people may be, there is no way that they can watch all teams play multiple times to get a FAIR evaluation.
Instead of making the system better, we have totally screwed it up. Yes, we will have 4 teams, but they will likely not be the right ones.
