As for the playoff, my system would be either 8 or 16 teams, most likely 8. It would use the higher tier bowls, rotated, as its playing sites and would not kill the lesser bowl games.
It would work (it does in the other divisions of college football) and shouldn't cost class time to a great degree.
How to pick the teams? That I'm not sure of, but the 6 conference champions with at large invites somehow would have to be in there.
There'll always be debate, even with a system such as this as long as you have the Notre Dames getting bids over teams more deserving, such as Oregon merely b/c of prestige and geographical placement in the country.
Oregon got the BCS poke in the arse this year. Next year, it'll be someone else.

I'm just naming off bowl names from the top of my head, mailman
. By the way, the Holiday Bowl usually has some of the best match-ups, and usually has the best ratings of all of the non-BCS games.
Better yet, lets do the 16 team format. The 11 teams who won their conferences, and then 5 at-large bids. If Notre Dame is good enough, they would be considered the 12th team (as they are an independant team). Then seed those teams by their ranking in the AP rankings. Don't they rank all of the D-1a teams, but only report the top 25?
