You take the top 8 schools in the BCS rankings regardless of conference or anything. Play the quarter and semi finals at the home field of the higher ranked team the last two weekends of December. Play all the big bowls on New Year's day again and have the national championship game at the selected neutral site the weekend after New Year's day...or the week after if you want an extra week for the championship game teams to prepare.
With this type system as it stands now you'd have Penn State at Alabama, Texas Tech at Oklahoma, Utah at Texas, and USC at Florida in the playoff.
You'd have an Ohio State/Oregon Rose Bowl, an Oklahoma State/Cincinnati Orange Bowl, a Georgia or Georgia Tech/Boston College Sugar Bowl, a Boise State/Brigham Young Fiesta Bowl, a TCU/Ball State Cotton Bowl or something similar to those matchups in the "big" bowl games. It doesn't really matter who is in them. Just generally teams in the 9 to 20 ranked category. You can keep conference affiliations in those games or go back to them or not.
That's my solution. I'm a bit long-winded however.

It is everyone solution, but the people that run the ship.
I refuse to watch or support college football until the title is settled on the field, hilarious computers picking two teams and saying "You two get to play for the hardware" is just ridiculous
