But someone is always going to feel left out.
I also like the idea that the conference championships become a playoff game

Then it just goes to the #3 seed complaining about not being #2 and getting the bye...or #7 getting upset. There's always going to be someone angry no matter what you do. IMO 4 teams is just right

There is no scenario where everyone is happy. People will complain, but this makes the most sense.

the best way to do this would be....

to take 8 teams and do a playoff with those. 1 vs 8, 2 vs. 7, etc. Then you could take each of the Power 5 conferences champions, ACC, SEC, BIG 10, BIG 12, and PAC 12. And have 3 at large bids for Group of 5/Independents with the best record/highest ranking. So this year you would have had:
1Clemson vs. 8Boise State in one of the 4 old BCS bowls (Rose, Orange, Fiesta, Sugar)
2Georgia vs. 7Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl
3Oklahoma vs. 6UCF in the Peach Bowl
4Ohio vs. 5USC in the Citrus Bowl
Then the winners would advance to the Semis, which would be two of the remaining 3 old BCS Bowls, and those winners would advance to the last remaining BCS Bowl. And those bowls would rotate annually, with the top seed in the quarter finals playing in the BCS bowl that existed in the Quarter finals that year.

You can go to 12 and give the top 4 rated conference champions a bye and then play it out from there till the end. I would love for the higher rated team to get home field advantage until the championship game. I know some talk about high prices but if the ACC championship game can be cheap then so can home games in the playoffs. I told someone earlier I spent less for me and 3 others to go to ACCCG than to a home Clemson game.

You could go to 120 teams to play 11 games plus a conf champ game for some and then choose the best 4 to battle in CFP?
