Actually, the BCS rankings drop off significantly after 8-10 teams every year, and a playoff eliminates the argument of 3 teams going undefeated. Yes, the teams that don't make it will complain even if they didn't have a legit shot at a NC, just like March Madness, but it's on a lesser scale because you're talking about 0-1 loss teams with very weak schedules or 2 loss teams.
The argument that "it'll never be perfect" doesn't mean you shouldn't make it better.
