Go to 6.

5 power conference champions get in plus one at large.

That way, the only bitching is about the at large spot. The path to the other 5 spots is clear and taken out of the hands of the committee.

Use BCS type rankings to determine seeding and then run the playoffs like the NFL. Top two seeds get byes. You could even keep the bowl game host sites, though it would be the best sporting event on earth if they allowed the higher seeds to host the playoff games through the first two rounds. Campuses would be straight up rocking. Then play the National Championship at a rotating spot like the Super Bowl.

Another way to do it is just use the division winners (using P5 only)

So you would have had
Miami
Clemson
USC
Stanford
tOSU
Wisconsin
Auburn
Georgia
Oklahoma (BXII no divisions)

Then you take top 3 teams left over from there to fill to 12, but the conferences wont get rid of CCG.

You can also have the conferences declare their rep will be X before the season, either winner of regular season, highest rated, winner of CCG, then build one that way.

Yep.

If you bitch with that, you are a bitch. Your team had a clear defined way to make the playoffs, and they failed

I would be in favor of that. This keeps the regular season extremely important. As your chances of getting in the playoffs are extremely low without winning your conference. Plus it gives the top 2 a first round bye week.
