What's proposed (the way I read it):
• 4 team playoff
• 4 Teams chosen by "committee" after all Bowl games are played.
• First round games to rotate between existing BCS bowl sites
• National Championship game to be played in any city that bids and wins (like the Superbowl) to host the game.

This is the one step I was looking for. It's not yet a final & fair solution, but that will now come within just a few short years when all of the D1 schools are part of 6 or 8 Super conferences. Almost all conferences currently have a real first round playoff, it's called the conference Championship game.

Theoretically, 8 D1 conferences (assuming they are about 16 teams each, 8 teams to a division, and a Conference title game between the two division champs) could tie into the 4 legacy BCS bowls for a 2nd round playoff. The 4 BCS bowl winners go into the above +1 playoff.

This would be the completely equitable playoff system we all want.

This is a very good thing.
