If there were a 4-team playoff this year, which undefeated team do you leave out? Or do you leave 2 out and include Florida? The reason, to me, a 4-team playoff doesn't and won't ever work, is that there are 6 BCS conferences, and if they can't all be represented in a playoff, it'll never fly. So, the minimum playoff would probably have to be 8 teams. And that's why I don't like the 8-team playoff ideas. I know it didn't happen this year (though this year is actually an outlier) but I hate it when a team ranked outside of the top-15 wins its conference and gets an autobid. I can see the BCS conferences agreeing to a 4-team playoff. What I can't see is them agreeing to an 8-team playoff where the top-8 go and there are no autobids. I'd also leave Boise State out because they have the weakest resume. Boise also has the 2nd best win. I'd leave out Texas.
