I see a lot of people already complaining about the playoff system. I thought everyone preferred it. What happened?

Notre Dame going 11-1 doesn't matter they won't have beaten a top 10 team this year. Not 1, so how is an 11-1 Notre Dame in the same conversation as an 11-1 SEC West team?
Notre Dame has brand status and national appeal. they bring eyeballs from all over the country and advertisers love eyeballs. Alabama is the only SEC school near that kind of drawing power. Tennessee used to have that power when that had the fat guy. Tigers (Auburn and LSU) and Gators are probably the next step down. Georgia and Texas A&M are probably just below them. After that you get to teams that have a singular good year. Vanderbilt is probably the bottom.

Unless you use the conference champions.
This is also dumb. To be honest FSU is a good team, but at the same time they are getting not test from the ACC which is weak as hell.
Wisconsin was the 2012 Big ten Champion after Going 4-4 in the conference. There isn't anyone in the country who didn't know they weren't the best team in the Big Ten (lost to Penn St and Ohio St who were bowl ineligible)
Look at bowl records. only 2 conferences have a consistent bowl record above 500. the SEC and the Pac 12.
Why should we assume a team is the best because the won their conference?

8 teams
The top 5 seeds would be the power five conference champions seeded by a BCS type formula. The next three would be wildcards from any conference.
The top 4 seeds would have first round home games, the final four would follow the same current format.
Based on how the season could finish out:
hypothetical of course
1. Mississippi State
2. Florida State
3. Oregon
4. Michigan State
5. Kansas State
6. Ole Miss
7. Alabama
8. Notre Dame
8 Notre Dame at 1 Mississippi State
7 Alabama at 2 Florida State
6 Ole Miss at 3 Oregon
5 Kansas State at 4 Michigan State

In about 10 years, CFB will have a 16 team playoff, and we'll be watching college football until March.

In about 10 years, the northern media types who want to transform college football to the NFL, will force an expanded playoff system on us. Then the college football season will be as boring and irrelevant as the NBA, college hoops and the NFL.
With an 8-team playoff the greatest college football moment of the last 20 years (Kick Six) is rendered completely meaningless.
