If it was entirely about the "most deserved" instead of the "best", then all the big schools might as well schedule nothing but cupcakes for their OOC schedule. Those marquee matchups should count for something, IMO anyway.

8 teams is a fair number: it'd reward ALL the conference champions who won it on the field, and a few at-larges for a little wiggle room. The OOC games would still carry weight, and more teams would have something to play for, so the buzz of the regular season would remain intact.

Not neccesarily. If you went 4 teams and only let conference champs in, there would be enough worry that your conference might not make it in

Personally I'd go 6. Power 5 champs and one group of five champ. Force everybody to play a OOC Power 5 like the SEC already does
