College Football Playoffs Legit or a scam?

I really want to see an 8 team playoff soon with:

5 power five conference champions

3 wildcards

no more than 2 teams from same conference in playoff

I like the idea of an 8 team playoff, but only conference champions are in. Maybe a 12 team playoff with the power 5 conference champions getting a bye.

If more that 1 team from a conference gets to go the final 4, that is a scam to me.

Correct. See 2012 for LSU vs. Alabama. To me that game was a scam...

A scam on so many levels. Remember in 2006 when tOSU and Michigan went into the final game as #1 and #2 in Columbus. Talk was if the game was close we might see a rematch in the BCS Championship game that year. But, the SEC griped that there shouldn't be a rematch because "that game's been played", "Michigan had their chance" ......... But, because it was two SEC teams in 2012, they were talking it up a week or two before the game to make sure that everyone knew it should be some sort of double elimination.

It just seems we all had to pay the SEC back for leaving Auburn out in 2004 and having USC beat the tar out of Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl/BCS Championship game

I'm sure it's a scam in the sense that the big money people do their best to get the big money teams and eliminate the outback teams with 12 fans. It's a royal scam.

Since you're so sure, please tell us how they do that.
