Starang, I have no idea how you'd do it. Some sort of playoff is the solution. The only thing I'm saying is that the old system is sometimes better at recognizing teams than is the current system. Where we go from here, I don't know.
I think when we get to a playoff, we scrap the current BCS bowl system. Keep the Orange, the Sugar, and the Rose. Say there is an 8 team playoff. I think you you could do a few things. You could reward the higher teams with homefield advantage in the first round. You could use a regional system, playing a neutral site (but destroying the 1 vs. 8, 2 vs. 7 matchups). Its tough, people need to understand that if we're really gonna make this fair, some tradition is gonna have to be altered, and you might have a tough time seeing every game your team is playing in in person. However, if you the first 4 games at non-bowl sites, then you could have a rotating schedule of the final three games between the rose, sugar, and the orange.
I still think an 8 team playoff with 6 automatic bids for conference champions is the way to go. In actuality, I'd prefer it just be automatic bids, but I don't know how you could do that. That way, the solution is easy. Win your conference. Thats one of the reasons I don't care that Michigan got left out. They had a chance 3 weeks ago to get into the national championship game. They lost.
