I think most reasonable people understand that four spots for five major conferences is insufficient and needs to be changed pronto. I am more confident than ever that they will expand to eight teams within the next five years and very possibly earlier than that.
However, in defense of the committee, how could they not give extra weight to conference championship game winners? They each played an extra game versus a good team. They should get more consideration for that achievement than a team that plays one less game.
I know it's always fashionable to bash a mostly nameless/faceless committee but in this instance, I don't understand the controversy at all? I think it would've been criminal to not give extra weight to the winners of the conference championship games. That would've been very unfair to those teams.
