This game, and the rematch, are the only reason we have a 4 team playoff today.

And this year's selection will be the primary reason why we go to 8 teams soon!

I think you are right about that. 

If not this year, then soon.

With 8 teams I would be OK with giving the conference champions an automatic bid.  That would leave 3 spots for at large (SEC) teams.  4 SEC teams against the other 4 conference champions, that sounds about right.

It would kill the bowls, kill interest in the seasonal games, and ensure that Alabama would be among the chosen 8 annually.

Since the playoffs have begun I see very little interest in any of the bowl games. I used to think that the schools made some money from the bowl games but I'm not so sure of that anymore as I have read where the schools actually lose money.

They should add more teams to the playoffs and have more bowls host games.  The lower tier bowls host the first round, and then move on to the bigger bowls as you advance.  Keep the garbage bowls for the 6-6 teams to have a pillow fight.  Nobody cares about those bowls any way.

Conference champions being automatically chosen is a bad idea. What if the champ finishes 10-3, 9-4, by beating a team that was 11-1 or 12-0 but had a bad game & lost in the championship game & finished 12-1, 11-2. A 9-4 team doesn't belong in the playoffs. I see really good teams getting knocked out of the playoff due to this method. I like a committee that has the flexibility to look at a team, the conference they belong to, and their SOS.
