I think you'll see something like the three highest rated conference winners and a "wildcard" who is the highest rated once the three conference winners are identified. That gives an independent a chance, a fourth conference champion a chance, or a second conference team rated in the top four who wasn't a conference champion.
Now, maybe you add another qualifier, like a conference team must be in the top 6 or that spot could be given to another at-large.
Perhaps they put qualifiers on the said "at large" in that a conference cannot have more than two representatives.
Who knows. But, if last year, Alabama played OSU and Stanford played LSU, and then Alabama and LSU advanced, I bet the ratings would have been much better.

The San Francisco Texas World Series had terrible ratings. They should have had the Yankees play the Red Sox instead.
