How is that any different from how it used to be done? Back in the day, if you lost a game you were screwed unless something crazy happened to put you back in the running. The same scenario still plays out in the present day. If you went undefeated, there was a good chance that you were going home with either an AP or UPI national championship trophy. The same thing still applies today.
We complain about subjective rankings all the time on this board while thinking the championship is won "on the field" when subjective #1 and subjective #2 meet in a post-season bowl game. Show me the logic.
BCS and CFP are systems everyone agreed to play under.

As was the system that existed during the Poll Era so I fail to see how that answers the question as to how it is any different from the way things used to be done. We've simply been cycling through one subjective system after another for the last 83 years.
