I still think congress will be looking at this sytem at some point under anti-trust issues and will not be surprised should they determine it an unfair business practice afterwards. Thats why the NCAA should be exploring this all right now and avoid it all.

I never got (or agreed) with that argument as well... but it's one of the first ones marched out by university presidents.
I think if there was some combination of bowl games and a playoff, I could (and many others who prefer the existing system) get with it. Maybe the four major bowls take turns rotating between hosting semi finals and the national championship game. For example:
Year 2088, the first year of playoffs:
NC: Rose
Semi Finals: Rose, Fiesta
Quarterfinals: Sugar, Orange, Gator, Cotton
First Round: Other minor bowl games
Year 2089:
NC: Fiesta
Semi Finals: Fiesta, Sugar
Quarterfinals: Rose, Orange, Gator, Cotton
First Round: Same
Year 2090:
NC: Sugar
Semi Finals: Sugar, Orange
Quarter Finals: Rose, Fiesta, Gator, Cotton
First Round: Same
Year 2091:
NC: Orange
Semi Finals: Orange, Rose
Quarter Finals: Fiesta, Sugar, Gator, Cotton
First Round: Same
Note: Gator/Cotton just majorish bowls I picked.
