If so, then you will be the one who will be immediately dissatisfied with the 4-team playoff and start calling for an 8-team playoff, maybe thereafter a 16-team playoff, and after that, who knows? The future is wide open, and all we know for certain is that it would be typical of our civilizational shortsightedness to apply the band-aid of a mere 4-team playoff to the wound of the national championship process, when what we really need is more along the lines of a 16-team colectomy.

No, what I meant by that is that the 4 team playoff isn't going to solve all the problems, but it may very well be the best thing we have at this point. (This is also up for substantial debate)
