This would virtually solve all of the issues. Now every playoff team would have to play an extra game, and now you get the max number of good teams in the Final 12.

I think you're solution is too complicated and involves playing too many extra games.

Of all the selection criteria the BCS/CFP used, I thought the method used in 2001-2003 was most simple and fair:

25% - Human poll average
25% - Computer poll average (couldn't use computers that applied margin of victory)
25% - Strength of schedule (good for SEC and BIG 10)
25% - Losses

Simple solutions work best. With this method, everyone knows the selection criteria throughout the season, strength of schedule is important, losses are painful in the regular season, and most importantly, this method does not use an incompetent committee that changes its own criteria and rules on the day of selection.

The problem is that the conferences have expanded so much since 2003, it used to be every team played every other team in the conference, you simply can’t do that anymore.
