Hopefully they'll make it an 8 team tournament in the future. Get the 8 best teams, no matter what conference, and hash it out through December.
4 teams is great, there are rarely more than 4 teams that should be considered for the title, and it still allows for some controversy. In the rare occasion that there are, the 8 team playoff would have it covered. Anyone ranked 9/10 would probably gripe, but you have to draw the line somewhere.
Teams like Boise State might even get a spot in the 8 team tourney, I doubt they ever get in to a 4 team scenario.
