Unless you're planning to include 32 or 64 teams, there is no equitable way to create a college-football playoff.

Equity almost never involves a precise and objectively fair determination.  A four or eight team or 32 or 64 group of teams picked in a subjectively fair way would all be "equitable".  It may not be perfect and it may not be the best.

I am not sure if anyone is trying to do other than get a system that allows for the top teams to play some sort of tournament format.  Because in general, people find a "finals" type format to be the best indicator of who is currrently playing the best.

As a Stanford fan, you would not have enjoyed an eight team playoff over the last two years?
