As far as I'm concerned, either they join a conference, or they can play in the Toilet Bowl every year, because they've done nothing in the past 20+ years to prove they deserve special rules for them.
Secondly, can we now put the idea that Boise State, TCU, and Utah didn't deserve to play for a national title because "they would get blown off the field" to rest? At least they've proven themselves on the field over and over again against top-tier AQ opponents in the past decade, and two of the three have moved up to AQ conferences themselves. Notre Dame, meanwhile, wasn't even questioned on their way to the title game just because of their name and ultimately looked like a high school team out there. Enough of the hypocrisy, please.
And yes, I realize a four-team playoff is coming soon, but let's be real - it'll be the BCS all over again. We need a playoff system in which every FBS conference is represented in order for things to be truly fair.

No. Year after year the SEC has PROVEN that a "playoff" that is based solely upon conference winners and 1 team per conference would be worse than the current system. It should be the top 4 (or those who want a larger playoff, 8) teams regardless of conference affiliation. This year, prior to the bowls, teams #3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 weren't conference champs.

Yep.
