2003 is a little tricky - the final BCS standings were before the conference CGs, so I used the AP poll.
bracket:
8 - Ohio St
9 - Florida St...........winner plays 1 USC
.
5 - OU
12 - Miami (OH)........winner plays 4 Kansas St
.
6 - Texas
11 - Georgia.............winner plays 3 Michigan
.
7 - Tennessee
10 - Miami...............winner plays 2 LSU
.
Hey KSU, congrats on your upset blowout of Oklahoma......you're gonna have to do it again.  Tenn-Miami is another rematch, as would Tenn-UGA.  If UGA happened to get to the semis, yes, LSU could play UGA a third time. 
The final BCS standings were never before the CCGs. With those in place:

8 - Tennessee 
9 - Miami (Fla)...........winner plays 1 LSU
.
5 - OU
12 - UGA........winner plays 4 FSU
.
6 - OSU
11 - Miami (OH).............winner plays 3 Michigan
.
7 - Texas
10 - K-State...............winner plays 2 USC

OSU-Michigan rematch on tap, after the Buckeyes battle Big Ben. Texas tries for vengeance on K-State, and we either get a rematch for a good game the year before or a preview of 2005. Would enjoy.

I'm super wary of all the rematches this is going to produce.  That's a big part of what makes individual games in the NFL nearly meaningless.  You'll get to play that team again (if they're in your division) and teams play a 3rd time in the playoffs sometimes. 
Without a rematch, we'd be much less far along this path. But, such is life.

we all understand the committee's final ranking will avoid rematches and conference matchups

be a bit more work than with only 4, but it will happen

for ratings and to appease the SEC

Nope.

I get why high schools and D-II do it. But you got the money, play it out.
Well if they really are driven solely by maximizing profits as many insinuate, then they'd regionalize it to cut the travel costs, as well increasing the likelihood of a classic matchup; Nebraska-Oklahoma, Michigan-Notre Dame, Florida-Miami, Texas-aTm, etc.

Ok, ya, I thought that was weird.  Thanks.
2 rematches out of 4 first round games isn't fun.

2004 is cray-cray:
There are 7 conference champs ranked ahead of either Big Ten co-champ.  Iowa gets in as the 12th seed and UM is left out entirely.  WOW.
.
8 VA Tech
9 Boise St...........winner vs 1 USC
.
5 Texas
12 Iowa.............winner vs 4 Utah
.
6 Cal
11 LSU...............winner vs 3 Auburn
.
7 Georgia
10 Louisville.........winner vs 2 Oklahoma
.
So we have 3 G5 conference champs in easily, all ahead of the B10 champ.  That would be bonkers.
I didn't bold UL or Iowa, because despite being conference champs, they're in as at-larges.
.
Auburn would probably be a fan of this playoff.

2006 (aka 'The Michigan Mulligan'):
.
8 Boise St
9 Auburn...................winner vs 1 Ohio St
.
5 Michigan
12 Arkansas...............winner vs 4 Louisville
.
6 LSU
11 Notre Dame............winner vs 3 USC
.
7 Wisconsin
10 Oklahoma..............winner vs 2 Florida
.
No ACC team at all.  While the compromised Big East (sans Miami, VT, etc) was a weaker conference, it had top teams with fewer losses than the ACC in this era.

so dumb.


they say all bids will be at-large? sounds fine but leave it to the SEC to figure out how to qualify 9 teams, leaving out the Pac 12, Big 12, and non-P5s.

Miami and Tennessee played in the regular season.  I remember because it was a hideous game and looking it up confirmed it.

Think 12 is too much.  However... the hand-wringing would be lessened with 12.  Top G5 team along with any other undefeated G5s.  No power five teams with one loss or less would be left out.  Gives teams outside the elite bubble realistic chances to find their way into the playoffs....whereas now it's really an improbable feat for many.

I guess I don't hate it.

It's better than a lot of the ideas that we've had on here. And we've spent a lot of time thinking about it, from what we thought was every angle imaginable.

That said I'm sure they'll figure out a way to screw it up, because that's what they do.
