This is how I'd run the College Football Playoff's.

I'd let the committee vote until after the conferance championship's. They make it interesting but the regular season only get's your foot in the door. Now I bring in Vegas. They don't care about rankings. Being a 19 point underdog does nothing for the Irish. Set up a four team playoff for the top 4 another playoff for 5 -8. This way the best team get's in with the big boys and 5 - 8 should have some great games.
