I see it as providing a "playoff champion" as opposed to some approximation of the national champion.

If "we" can't pick out the 4-5-6 teams that realistically are plausibly the best team in the nation without going to either, we should stop trying.  I'm content with 4.
Arguably any and all playoffs only determine the playoff champion.

The NY Giants weren't the best team in all of pro football those two years they won the superbowl recently.  But they were the playoff champs.

If a school like Georgia or Florida doesn't think that they can consistently finish in the top 2 in the SEC, they are always free to join the ACC.

Yup, we get playoff champions, which "we" apparently prefer to "voted champions".  

I could see a year where we have '95 Nebraska who plays a tough slate and demolishes everyone to go 13-0, and then has an awful game and loses in a 5 turnover plagued effort in the rain to North Carolina (or Eastern michigan).

No, they're "World Champions" of a sport played in only one country.

Exactly!  Same thing in basketball, even though basketball is played professionally all over the world.
