instead of a committee we could use conference champs or something that doesn't require an "eye test" or subjective opinion

There is no "Perfect System" of course.  And going to 12 will generate more controversy, not less.  It's part of life.  I think given that the committee is the best option, coupled with mandatory conference champs being included (and that one will have outages sooner or later).

They do need to fix the clause about including six CCs in the 12 team playoff now.

depends on how many teams you want in the playoff

I suppose we are stuck with 12

SEC East champ
SEC West champ
B1G East champ
B1G West champ
PAC champ
Big 12 champ
ACC champ
AAC champ
USA champ
Mountain champ
Mid-American champ
Sun Belt champ

I'd rather have 4

SEC champ
B1G champ
Big 12 champ
ACC champ

They won't go backwards on numbers, and they won't include more than one G5 CC.  I would be happier with six, but that too won't happen either.  I try and live with what is rather than what I'd prefer.  Anyway, the rich do get richer most of the time.

I've pointed out before how the Truly Wealthy don't care what the top marginal INCOME tax rate might be.

yep, we're going to continue the subjective opinions as well, but it's interesting to think about

I mean there's no central body that can order the polls to cease.  If you don't like them just ignore them.  In my opinion they're one of the unique and interesting things about college football so I wouldn't ever really wish for them to go away.

Great question.

If you want to take the P4 conf champs, you've got 2 insanely strong conferences and 2 "others."
Which means 2 have a tough road to the playoff and 2 have an easy one.  

Objective my ass.

Why can't teams from the strong conferences join the weaker ones? Seems an extremely easy solution.

Okay, let's run a race.

You have to run 100m and I'll run 70. 
No?
Why not?

As I've gotten older, I've grown more fascinated with the fact that they don't count and many people just cannot ignore them in a real way.
