8 teams doesn't work for the BCS bowls that own the playoff.  None of them wanted a 1 vs 8 game where the 8 was a G5 team.  The point of 12 was to force any blowouts to the campus site (and more $).  Mission accomplished.

They didn't fully anticipate the breakdown of the P12, B12, and ACC as competitive leagues but you can't legitimately call it s playoff if you just pick 4/5 schools each from the SEC/B1G.  Why bother, just go back to the polls (Herbie missed hard on this with his rant this week).

Seeding 1-12 has the same problem.  You force conference champions to the bottom of the bracket to face the top 3 teams while SEC 3s and 4s face each other.

The committee got the 12 right on. 100%.  I'm fine with the seeds.  Go beat the team in your bracket. Yes on paper, Oregon got screwed a bit because OSU can't beat Michigan.   The alternative would have been Notre Dame as the 8 or OSU as the 7, not much of a drop if you believe the hype.

As played, Oregon plays a team it already beat, GA plays ND who lost to an FCS, PSU plays A good Boise team that would have still earned a home game with seeding and AZ state play Texas, which probably happens anyway given the results from the weekend.
