I vote for playoffs (wen it matters what my vote is, send me my ballet and I'll vote for playoffs
)
In the short term, I think putting the #4 and #1 BcS team into one bowl game and having the #2 and #3 into another bowl game, and have a final bowl two weeks after the new year that matches the two winners...
that would at least be a start... and we might actually see that come to fruitation in a few years... think baby steps...
