8 is the best - allows for all 5 conference champs (within reason) plus 3 wildcards which could include a Group of 5 (within reason)
eliminate conference title games that are all but meaningless
eliminate one non conference game that tends to water down schedules and is nothing more than a bye
play all games at home sites of highest seed and the national title can rotate amongst neutral sites
bowl games could resume for those outside top 8
you don't need a committee anymore, use a combo of the AP and Coaches poll and some sort of SOS component like NCAA tourney uses

Four is fine. At the end of this year, like every other year, we are not going to be saying Baylor/OU or Utah would have won it all if there were a 6 team playoff.

If you're going to go to an 8-team playoff, you don't need ANY biased, subjective opinion polling - whether it's the CFP committee, the AP sports writers, or the coaches.

Put in the 8 best conference champions seeded based on their SOS.

It doesn't matter of conferences are not equal, the first round will eliminate any pretenders.

Yeah that would be tough.

You can't really distinguish the difference between 6-11. Folks will then call for another expansion.

This isn't march madness.
