Im fine with four teams. The unique thing about college football is every week really is a championship week. Every team in the top conferences have had a whole season to earn a playoff berth. I dont need to see Memphis play Ohio state. Or Baylor play LSU.
What I would like to see is 5 play 6,7 play 8 and 9 play 10 and so on but Utah will get some 3rd rate team in some scrub bowl. Let them play an Alabama or Penn State. Let Oregon play Georgia or Florida. See where the they stack up.
Not quite as they are going to the Alamo Bowl, still a 2nd tier bowl though.. HOWEVER, who cares one iota about seeing Virginia in the Orange Bowl? Answer: no one outside that state. Utah would've been a far better choice. Virginia is ranked freaking 24th!!
I love your idea of 5 vs. 6, 7 vs. 8 and so on. The traditional bowl game system has been dismantled anyway, let's change it up totally for the sake of the matchups you described. The only downside would be the Committee playing past and loose with the rankings but it would still be better than a shitty Virginia team in the Orange Bowl.
