The problem is if it's bad enough I assume you think it should be changed.

If it's going to changed, a new dynamic has to be added...people will bitch about that dynamic. So that's why the argument against any system being "people will bitch" doesn't really work because as you said there's no alternative where people won't bitch.

Going from 4 to 8 teams isn't adding a new dynamic, it's modifying the current one. Going from 4 to 6 teams would be adding a new dynamic.

All I want is a clear set of criteria and no more arbitrary "rankings". The BCS rankings should be re-introduced and you have a 8 team playoff with:

- 5 conference champs
- Highest ranked G5 team* (Must meet qualifier of finishing in the top 15 of final rankings)
- 2 highest ranked non-conference champions (3 if no G5 team qualifies)

It's simple and the criteria is clear and concise.
