I feel they were making things worse by leaving things up to a selection committee. I personally would keep the BCS rankings as I feel they do a pretty good job ranking teams and have a top-4 playoff (to keep the importance of the regular season). Of course that would mean 3 SEC teams in the playoff which I'm fine with. Top 8 would probably be ideal in making sure Oregon, K-St have a shot (BSU previous seasons) but I feel you get into situations where you giving teams a chance where they have 2 or more losses.
