REPOST.. my idea for 8 team CFP system...

not a whole lot different than what most say but a couple of wrinkles thrown in...
All of the 'power 5' conference winners are in and make up the top 5 seeds. the only difference is, you take conference rankings and give each team their ranking based on that. for example, if the acc is the best conference, then their champ gets the #1 seed and then so forth and so on.
then for the 6 and 7 seeds, you take the next 2 highest ranked non-qualifying teams. the stipulation there being the 2 teams could NOT come from the same conference.
lastly, the #8 seed would be the highest ranked NON 'power 5' conference team. I think this year, that would be Boise State.
This would throw in a little bit of the march madness feel putting in the 8th seed team that way.
just a thought. would be fun!
This years bracket would look like this:
1 Alabama vs. 8 Boise State
2 TCU vs. 7 Miss. State
3 Oregon vs. 6 Baylor
4 FSU vs. 5 Ohio State
Would be a lot of fun in my opinion

Good, except for seeding by supposed conference strength...

That would be subjective, and penalize possibly the best team because of other conference teams. Using that seeding last year, FSU was obviously the best team, but may have been seeded fourth.
Keep the committee, and let their rankings determine the seedings. No need for them to start ranking before mid November at the earliest.

takes the odd subjectivity present in the current system and in the BCS out.

This is a great idea, and its the same idea I've had for awhile now. It eliminates the need for controversial rankings too. Just win your power 5 conference and your in. Doesn't matter where your ranked. Just throw out the rankings all together.

Can't just throw rankings out altogether.

Are you going to draw the seedings from a hat? Let the committee rank them, but their power would be greatly diminished, because they would only be picking three of the teams. Five would be already determined.

If OSU weren't in this year, we'd be at 8 next year.

As an independent. . Which they want to be in football. They don't want to be in a conference for football so give them what they want.
Cut the regular season by 2 games.. at least one.
College football should not be playing in February.

just like everyone else that wasn't a conference champion. No need to treat them better or worse than anyone else.
