I think it's just a matter of time before it goes to 6 or 8 teams, but there is a lot of work to do to get there.
But on the other side of the coin, realistically each year there are only a handful of teams at the very top anyhow. This year is Bama and arguably Clemson. Even ND, OU, and OSU probably don't stack up against those two so why even go to four teams? (rhetorical question)
When there were only two teams selected in the BCS day there was always a debate that the #3 team was close enough to be considered but was always shut out. Now that there are four teams the debate is always between 4 and 5 and who should be ranked where. If they went to 8 teams then we would have the same debate for 8/9. Regardless of how many teams there are there will always be a debate at the cutoff line.
