I would disagree. The point is to have the two best teams play no matter what conference they come from. In 2011, the SEC had the two best teams, and IMO, in 2012 the SEC had at LEAST 2 of the top 3 or 4 teams. Those years, if there had been a playoff, then two SEC teams should have gone.
In 2012, an argument COULD have been made that the SEC had three of the top 4 teams in the country with Alabama, Georgia and Florida.
I DO agree that we don't need an 8 team playoff, though.

An argument "COULD" have been made ...
That is the point. You throw this into complete subjectivity again. You are only talking about the eyeball test. We have no way of knowing.
Make it all conference champions. Every SEC team has an equal chance to win the SEC. If you can't do that, then what are you doing claiming that you are the best team in the nation? So, you want a "do-over"? There will never be a best 2 out of 3. It will always just be "the best team that day" and we will never really know.
You are destroying the conference system and what is good about college football. A playoff is a really bad idea unless it takes the conference champions. So what if the other conferences are weaker? If the SEC champ wins, they will prove their superiority. If they lose, they still have the validity of the SEC title.
This isn't basketball.
