4. There is no selection criteria or requirement, aside from simply being top 4. Major conference/minor conference...conference champion/non-conference champion...doesn't matter, again there is no formula nor requirements

I just don't like this. It sounds like a bunch of backroom political operatives making decisions without even feeling compelled to spell out the criteria they think should be consistently considered.

It is fine to have a panel IMO. They are just obligated to make public the criteria for their rankings... then programs can make scheduling choices with some hope of improving their chances of making the playoff.

If by this you mean official or required criteria, there isn't any. If you mean 'this is why I have these teams ranked top 10', much like a poster would here, that's a good idea. I guess you mean the latter due to " then programs can makes scheduling choices with some hope of improving their chances of making the playoff."

One could see how important OOC, winning conference, record over last few years, etc...is. The Presidential Council said one of their goals is transparency.

That would be a good ideal.
