Even with the new 12 team system the top 4 teams will get a first round bye to the quarter finals. Then you will have arguments over who should have been the first four.
Getting an extra week to prepare, get some more guys healthy, etc. is a big deal.

Agree with you but don’t you think the 13th ranked team will be melting next year?
No.
I would not be “melting” if Auburn was denied the 12 team playoff if we were ranked 13. LSU is 9-3 and ranked 13 now. That is not a likely champion.
I would be melting if Auburn was 13-0 and undefeated like FSU this year.
The two are not comparable at all.

have said that the whole time, BCS was the best system. Even if they wanted to go to playoffs, use the BCS to pick the four and get rid of human bias. Use the numbers to judge.
BCS had Alabama in the final four btw

The only good thing about a 12 team is you can control your own destiny.
No power 5 will go undefeated and get left out.

Do we need a solution when a 12 team playoff begins next year?
Yes because committees suck. NFL doesn't use committees. They have set rules on what it takes to make playoffs. High-school doesn't use committees as far as I know. College basketball only uses a committee to select a few teams on the bubble - everyone else gets automatic bids based on record.
It is much better (and simpler) to just crown division/conference champs (based solely on record) and put those teams in the playoff. Not sure why that is so hard for NCAA to understand. Only thing I can figure is they want the committee so it can be rigged (there's big money involved). There is zero other reason to have a committee.

I think what I read said this 4 would be the top 4 ranked conference champions.

SEC - 17 total championships, 11 BCS + 6 CFP
Big gap
B10 - 3 total - 2 BCS + 1 CFP
ACC - 5 total - 3 BCS (includes Miami) + 2 CFP
Enormous gap.
Literally everyone else...

For the sake of this post, I'm going to assume that if you're a serious enough football fan to be posting on this board during the middle of the week in the postseason, you've all probably already seen the late Mike Leach's rant about committees and expanding the playoff. (If by some wrinkle in the universe you haven't, it's on YouTube)
His basic point was "committees suck, there should be black and white criteria and a playoff system like every other football division including the NFL". He argued for 64 teams
I think 64 is a bit much, but I'd like to see a slight modification of his basic idea: An 11 game regular season, and a 32 team playoff. The national champion and runner-up would play 16 games. Those not making the 32 team playoff would go to some sort of a bowl or other postseason game, so that everyone is guaranteed a 12 game season for budgeting.
In any case, there is no legitimate reason why this is as difficult as they insist on making it.
(There are, however, illegitimate reasons, like $ and lack of accountability, but that's another story altogether)
