Playoff proposal: 6 teams

Even though we have a four team playoff coming next year, I think there's a fairly easy way to ratchet the excitement up with only minimal expansion.

Now remember that there is a difference between "best team" and "champion", and we're looking for champions.

Let's limit the playoffs to conference champions only.  We'll take our five power conferences (ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, and SEC), and then the highest ranked champion from the "Group of 5". 

This might encourage the Big 12 to finally get two more teams and get their conference championship game back, because all of the conference championship games would become de facto opening round playoff games.

And come on, we all know that the playoffs are going to expand at some point.
