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.

not bad not bad, just a couple of things...
It's not fair to have a semi and a final in the same place. Not fair to have one team travel and the other team sitting there waiting for them.
And again that's alot of travel. One team in four weeks in 2091 could play in the Motor City Bowl (Ford Field), Cotton Bowl, Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl.
Detroit, Dallas, LA, Miami! Good luck to that team!
I think at least the first round has to be a home game. Lower seed goes to higehr seeds house.

I think I can live with that and be assured a better system is in place than is now.

I could live with that too but the rankings and method have to be changed.
If Boise State and TCU from cupcake schedules both get in and the 9th place team is out, there's a fight again.
