8 Team Playoff

Winners of FBS DIV I Conference Championships
- ACC
- SEC
- Big10
- Big12
- Pac12

3 At Large Bids
- AT LEAST 2 teams from FBS Div II Conferences

I agree, except you got the at-large bids wrong.

They should be selected from the champions of the remaining FBS conferences (not sure where you got "FBS Div II" from, Div II is not FBS):

AAC
CUSA
MAC
MWC
Sun Belt

The top 3 champions of these conferences based on SOS should fill the last three spots.

No 'wildcard', no 'bye', a straight up tournament of champions. You don't win your conference championship, you don't advance.

Minimal controversy.

Definitely think we go to an 8 team playoff within a few years. Some version of 5 Conference Champs + 3 at large bids.

It will take three weeks to complete. I can't see playing all three games after Christmas due to the conflicts with academics and the NFL. Would the first round be played in December after exams, with the final two rounds played after Christmas?
