The playoff needs to stay at 4 teams but the commitee needs to drop the idea of selecting the 4 best teams and instead select the 4 teams that most deserve a shot at playing for a national title.

In general, that means an increased emphasis on picking the 4 best conference champions. Independents or conference runner-ups coud still be considered, but only if they are 2 less losses than the 4th best conference champ.
