USC still a few years away from this, thank God.

The NCAA has nothing to do with it unless they take control of the playoff, which they haven't done yet. The other conferences could damn sure exclude ND if they wish. Hell, look how the BCS excluded a lot of teams.
8 team playoff. Big 12, Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC and ACC conference champs are in, along with 3 at-large teams.
Not a bad idea, but here would be some potential complaints:
2012 Wisconsin at 8-5, 2011 Clemson at 10-3, 2005 Florida State at 8-4, and 2001 LSU at 9-3. Giving automatic playoff spots for the major conference champions means a 3 to 5 loss team COULD get into the playoffs. It doesn't happen often, but it could happen.
Do you think the mid-majors would demand that at least 1 of their conference champions gets an automatic spot in the playoffs?
What is going to happen if a 6th major conference emerges? Do we have to expand the playoffs?
4 team playoff is fine by me just have the semis played 2 wks after the conference title games. waiting over a month to play the semis is fucking stupid imo

Since it is the truth about how the BCS excluded some teams and gave special exemptions to ND what makes you think the tables couldn't be turned. Especially if the SEC and a couple other conferences have a huge say in the rules...ND needs to be in conference completely.
I don't see why we can't keep the current bowl system and they have an four team playoff between the winners of the Rose, Orange, Tostito and Sugar Bowl. There is no way university presidents are going to go for something like the playoff system in the lower levels of small college football.
That said the Big 12 and SEC agreed to Champion Bowl or whatever the hell they will call it and decided to run it themselves. So there is evidence out there that conferences are not completely satisfied with the bowl system.
-That maybe true to an extent, but university presidents are worried about revenue loss if the current bowl system is scrapped for a playoff system.
