Would you prefer the selection committee have concrete qualifiers or not?

Been kinda quiet in regards to what criteria will be used to select play off teams, unless I missed some coverage. Which do you think would best serve college football... having set-in-stone qualifications that dictate what a team must do to make it, or allowing this panel completely subjective choice over who goes?

Do it like basketball...nobody knows who selects or the criteria.
It removes biases.

IF they do that, then all teams will work to meet that criteria and many more than 4 will lclaim to have met such criteria.

Hate the selection committee in the first place.
They should keep something similar to the BCS formula (i.e. hundreds of human voters and several computers with millions of data inputs) and just take the top 4 from that formula. In this case I am confident that more data inputs would greatly decrease overall process bias and internally inconsistent results compared to what we will get from a small selection committee.

There definitely should be a set criteria.
We should have a set of tie breakers.

Personally I feel this committee is going to get thrown under the bus big time by everyone when controversy strikes. Then we will expand the playoffs again.
Should have kept the BCS rankings and expanded it out to four teams. At least then you knew the criteria.

Concrete qualifiers, concrete overshoes...six of one, half dozen of the other, you know

They should use the BCS formula to make their decision, but one of the rules should be you have to win your conference championship. Every conference must have a championship game in order for the schools to be eligible. The Notre dames of the world are in eligible as an independent. I hate how the NCAA is trying this new system, but decided to make like a fricking 15 year contract. It's gonna be a shitty 15 years if this don't workout.

I can't see how anyone would argue for the subjective - at least not unless they were doing it out of pure self interest.
Fairness seems like a virtue. Knowing what gets you into the biggest dance just makes sense. With four teams I'd think you could set up some pretty common sense criteria like:
#1 ranked team is in.
teams 2-4 are in if they won their conference or are independents.
teams 5 or 6 may be in if they won their conference and all four slots have not been filled.

Yes
Co-division championship is a prerequisite.

The best thing to serve college football is a ton of controversy and people getting mad. Make no mistake. The only reason that a playoff exists in the first place is that the second most powerful commish(Jim Delaney) hated the rematch Bama didn't deserve to be in. He was adamant about not having a playoff til he started to see the SEC getting all the favoritism(mostly deserved until it started giving the gumps things like a Heisman and a rematch).
There is a committee in place now to prevent this. Those hoping for a multi-SEC playoff will be shitting themselves because they are going to be adamant about not having more than one team in there. The BEST thing for college football is for continued chaos. Another regional catastrophe like the undeserved rematch. At that point, hopefully closer to the end of the 12 year contract(much like the undeserved rematch happening when the BCS contract was up for renegotiated was perfect), we can get autobids for power 5 conference champs, highest ranked conference champ among the little 5, and 2 at large bids(Independents will receive an autobid if ranked higher than some preset criteria).

They should still be using the BCS formula.
