WT- If I understand you, you are OK with the 8 Conference Champions, it is the addition of the 4 At Large that you think is watering down the playoffs, correct?

That is correct.
"At-large" looks like "wildcard" to me which looks like "Undeserving, but we'll give them another chance" which looks like bullshite.
And 12 teams looks like some teams will get a "bye" which looks like copping out, which again looks like bullshite.
All of that overcomplicates an otherwise simple and elegant solution.
ANY system you devise will produce criers. The criers in the system I propose will be losers and not conference champions and that's okay by me. To include a team that didn't win their conference over a team that did just looks like bias and favoritism - which is exactly what we are trying to minimize with a playoff system. Otherwise, why not just go back to the way it was prior to 1990?.
