So if this all goes the way so many are talking about and we have 64 teams in 4 super conferences then we will have a de-facto 64 team playoff. If every conference is in a pod format and there is a semifinal between pod 1 and 2, and another between pod 3 and 4, the winners of those games goes to the conference championship. Then the conference Champs play in semifinals and final. That keeps the regular season important and is a actual playoff that is decided on the field.

Except two of those conferences aren't that super.
