What will it look like?
A committee of how many?
Will they allow 2 teams from one conference?
Well MLMaster i'll try to help
IF we had it this year this would 've been our final 4
#4 Michigan State vs #1 Florida State
#3 Alabama vs #2 Auburn
There is no maximum of teams from a conference that can get in. So you could have 3 pac-12 schools for example
There are 13 members on the committee. they will pick 4 teams for the playoff as well as selecting pairings for 4 other bowl agmes because there are 6 bowl games that can host the semifinal games
The Committee also will pick the best team from the 5 lower tier conference and whoever is the best team will play in 1 of the 6 bowls
Should be fun. Enjoy the offseason MLMaster

MLMaster i don't believe computers will be involved in the process. But the committee will look at strength of schedule especially in non conference. So IMO i would say every team better have 2 good non conference games if you're in a conference that only plays 8 league games
The moral of the story is simple play good teams and win
Ktrain i agree 100% Ohio State's non conference was a joke an dthey would've lost imo by 4 td's to either FSU or Auburn

death to the BCS
No, not that it ever "got it right," because that's a completely subjective call in the first place and quite absurd in its own right. Would it be "right" to anyone to set the Super Bowl matchup now as Seattle vs. Denver and then stand around for a month while we cancel the NFL playoffs? Or would that simply be the dumbest idea ever?
We'll miss that comedy of rationalization, the impossible-to-duplicate stupidity that pervaded the whole beast. The BCS was maddening, but it was hysterical, too.
It was so terrified of progress toward a playoff that it invented ludicrous and demonstrably untrue argument after ludicrous and demonstrably untrue argument, feigning concern over everything from player academics to cutting off the spigot of bowl games' charitable giving – which, in case you forgot, accounts for less than 2 percent of total revenue – and even the supposedly likelihood that Nick Saban would begin tanking the Iron Bowl. Yeah, sure he would.
The BCS's sole positive claim is that it was better than the old system at matching top teams in a title game. A push-button phone was better than a rotary dial. Color TV beat black and white. While the rest of the world embraces improvement and evolution, college football's power brokers subjected fans of the sport to this nonsense for 16 years. The BCS is old enough to drive. And you know some fat-cat bowl director would've bought it a Mercedes.
The BCS existed to allow a small number of people – notably bowl directors – to make an incredible amount of money by serving as the outsourced middlemen of the sport's lucrative postseason. That's why it lasted. Because no matter how nonsensical it was, someone was profiting handsomely off the nonsense.
All you ever needed to know about the BCS came from the handiwork of a man named John Junker, who ran the Fiesta Bowl for a couple of decades and made himself a millionaire doing it.
He lost his job in 2010 for giving politicians illegal campaign contributions. He may still serve time in prison for the transgression. The "scandal" made headlines, mostly because it revealed he and his staff sometimes expensed trips to a local gentlemen's club.
That was good for some laughs, but it missed the point. The strip-club bill was about the 500th most scandalous thing about the Fiesta Bowl. Nos. 1 through 499 were the other ways John Junker spent the game's cash on himself (which proved the largesse) and why guys like him fought so hard and so long to maintain the BCS.
