Why? If after 13 games yore only ranked 8th you don't deserve a title shot plain and simple
Why not?
It happens in FCS,NFL,HS FB along every other form of popular sports.

Why do we need to see bama against cincinnati? What does that accomplish?
Why take the worst case scenerio? BTW if we ended up 8th,you wouldn't want see us play Bama again? C'mon,we're a different team now.
There are some other great matchups out there:UF vs Clemson? OU vs OSU? A&M vs ND?

The playoffs are fine
But they aren't
Bama gets in without winning their division?
Ohio State gets in with only 6 victories and zero impressive wins?
Sorry,its changing to eight whether you like it or not.Non playoffs NY6 bowls aren't gonna stand for being this insignificant and ESPN isn't gonna fork out $500 million+ for garbage NY6 bowls.

But this isn't those leagues. Can you name when a #5 or lower team got left out of the playoffs and we reasonably thought they could have won the championship?

Expanding to 8 teams would not stop that. It would make it more likely.

And then it will be expanded to 16, and then....
Playoffs always have the same problem: the lose fan bases. Sure, there will be casual interest in who wins, but how invested in the eventual results are all of the fanbases of all of the teams that don't get in?
That was what the old bowl system got right: it kept fan bases interested, because their team would be playing in a game that at least meant something to them.
