My Suggestions for an 8-Team Playoff in College Football.

1. Each conference champion from the power 5 conferences (SEC, ACC, Big 10, Big 12, and Pac-12) gets an automatic invitation.
2. The "best" conference champion (in the opinion of the selection committee) from a non-power 5 conference also gets an automatic invitation.
3. The remaining two slots are to be filled by the selection committee, BUT no conference is allowed to have more than two teams in the playoff.  If an independent like Notre Dame gets in, it will be through one of these two slots.
4. If a conference has two teams in the playoff, they must be seeded so that they would face each other in the quarterfinal or semifinal round, NOT in the championship game.
