I'll make the case that last year was a perfect example of why it shouldn't be only conference champs, mostly yes, but not only.
I disagreed with Bama getting one of the two spots, but clearly they were good and one of the best teams last year. They should under the right circumstances get a playoff shot.
IIRC correctly the final pre-bowl BCS standing were 1. LSU 2. BAMA 3. OKst 4. Stanford. 5. Oregon 6. Arkansas
Under the 4/6 proposal LSU, Ok St and Oregon, get bids as champs leaving one spot for Bama. If Wisc ended up ahead of Arkansas then Bama would be out. I consider both outcomes completely fair and would produce a legit champ.
