I've always favored the top 6 conference champions. If you want to get rid of rankings, then the top 6 can be determined by the records of the out of conference match ups.

But why limit it to 6 and not all the conferences? In this year's case, I would be excited to watch how Liberty or SMU could possibly match up with tu or Michigan. You might laugh at that matchup, but then at least the world would know and there would be no "what ifs"

This is good until you have to let in say 9-4 Utah over 12-1 Georgia (if that happened)

Or 9-4 Utah over 11-1 LSU (if you went w/ the runner up thing)

GET RID OF THE RANKINGS!!!!!

Playoff the conference champions (and maybe the runner-ups and maybe even a wild card) through the bowls.

Just like every other league does it (high school, NFL, NBA, MLB, etc)

what if OSU beat tu in the big12 champ game? THey worthy of being in the playoffs in that garbage conference?

First of all, Utah is not the runner up in the PAC12. It would be Wash and Oregon for this year. But in the SEC, yes, it would be who played in the SEC championship.

4 16 team conferences, each in 4 pods. Playoffs start by winning your pod. Shuffle the pods every couple of years so whoever is stuck with Alabama gets a chance. Also, if you go 0-12, or 1-11, you get relegated and replaced with the best of the tier 2 teams.

Yes, remove the word "worthy" from the CFB vocabulary
