At a minimum, don't publish rankings until the season is over so you don't have BS starting points.

Power 5 conference winners should get in and then 1-3 at-large selections between runner ups, independents and Group of 5. Want to be sure you get in? Start by winning your division and then your conference. If there is a truly great team that didn't win their conference because there is a second truly great team in their conference, they still have a chance to get in. If a weaker conference winner gets in with 2 or more losses, they will get eliminated by a better team.
Exactly. Regardless of who is in your conference, it is always tough to go undefeated in conference play. Most these teams play each other every year and know the gameplan to beat each other because of it. Coaching at the big schools rarely changes, so it really is any given Saturday with a majority of these teams. 1 or 2 losses in conference play is not a true indication, imo, of who is the better team.

people last year thought 1 loss, big 12 champ OU shouldnt get in over georgia, but look what happened when georgia had to face the 2nd best big 12 team? There really is no true measure of who is a better team/conference, so you have to let the conference winners in to see how it plays out.
