I don't think the conferences will go for a top 8 system because it offers no guarantee that their champions will be involved and thereby deprives them of the monetary and non-monetary gains that would come along with playoff participation. See what I did? I gave a reason why.
There may be a way to make a playoff work, and whether you setup a system and then work backwards or the other way around doesn't really matter, but you can't create it in a vacuum.

Likely to occur because the system has been moving closer to that way for awhile now. Also, eventually the outcry from the public and money from TV/sponsorships is going to force the issue.
The BCS has narrowly avoided some real disasters lately but it isn't crazy to see an instance where a Cincy-Boise St. type game occurs and that would be a real hit to the BCS system.
I don't think that it is happening in the next five years but things are going to change and it just makes to much sense to have a play-off for it not eventually occur.
