If you're not happy with the rankings, describe a playoff scenario you like best

I don't have a problem with the rankings. But if I was going to choose a system it might be something like:
8 teams. 1 from each of the "Power 5" conferences (or best case maybe pare it down to to a "Power 4") and fill the last 3 (or 4) spots with the best available teams left.

Top 6. All five conference champs plus one at-large bid. It's pretty rare for there to be more than one non-conference championship winning team that is in the conversation for being the best team in the country. Let's look at the last five years.
2014- Baylor/TCU (Ended season #5 and #6 in the country respectively)
2013- Alabama (Ended season #3 in the country)
2012- Florida (Ended season #3 in the country)
2011- Alabama (Ended season #2 in the country)
2010- Stanford (Ended season #4 in the country)
It's pretty rare for two teams from multiple conferences in the running as the best team in the country. The only time I can remember it happening was 2008 with Florida and Bama from the SEC and Oklahoma/Texas from the Big 12. Other than that, there's never been more than one great team that failed to win their conference in a given year. So six would be the perfect number for me.

Even if you let 64 teams in and started in November, people would bitch. Its what people do.

No playoff at all. It was never meant for CFB. There are too many teams and historic conference ties to have a true postseason.
The BCS was a better system.
The only somewhat fair and somewhat balanced way to have a playoff is to get rid of conferences, and have one governing body with 4 16, 12, 10 team (whatever) divisions with each division winner advancing to a playoff.
A committee is the worst possible idea, and yet here we are.
