But once this expands to 6 or 8 teams, it's clear the best team will be left standing

I think that's the best solution. Expand it to 8 teams and let the best team at year's end win.

SEC is the strongest conference and would benefit most from an 8 team playoff.

When Spurrier was at Florida eons ago, he was an early passionate supporter of a playoff for this reason. Figured with a tough schedule (SEC plus Miami and FSU when they were both still powerhouses) that a playoff was Florida's best shot at a title.

I hated Florida and Spurrier (58-3 - Curley Hallman!) with a passion in the 90s but I've come to appreciate the OBC's insights and wit the older I get.
