We need to protect the regular season.

This argument can literally not be used this year. Ohio State this year and Alabama in 2011 spit on the regular season.

8, no. If expanding, then go to 6 with top 2 seeds getting byes. This will allow all power 5 champs getting in with 1 at-large bid. I feel going to 8 will allow teams with 3 losses in and this should be case.

I'll grant you OSU.

I'll also point out that is the product of how the current system is set up, with basically a selected group locked up to decide who is in.

Alabama/LSU still works out.

The BCS's stated goal was to place to two teams with the best body of work and make them play. Not look for de facto playoff games that may occur in the regular season.

As much as it sucked, Alabama's resume that year trumped every other team's.
