the only equitable and fair way to know is to let it happen on the field...afterall this is what its all about....right?

And how do you propose that happen then? Balanced schedules over 117 week seasons so everyone plays everyone else? There are simply too many teams in too many leagues "to let it happen on the field". College football, just like college basketball, will always need to incorporate an element of human judgement in determining who is going to be involved in a playoff or title game, there's simply no other feasible manner to accomplish the goal.
I agree that preseason rankings play too much of a role, but that has diminished with the introduction of the BCS. Nothing about preseason rankings determined whether LSU or Bama was in the title game, it was about their performance over the year and a brutal loss by OSU.
