Last year it would have been 'Bama, LSU, OSU, and Oregon.

Of course it's been shot down for now. But when you see some of these smaller conference teams go undefeated and they still aren't considered for the top four, there's going to be some belly-aching. 8 teams allows enough room for a small conference team or two to get in. 4 is a good step, but it's only a first step and certainly won't be the last.
