It would easily be fixed by expanding to 6 or 8 teams so all the major conference winners have a chance to participate.

Why not just expand to a 128 team playoff and do away with the regular season entirely.

You can have your cake and eat it, too.  

The first seven games of the season are conference games, used strictly for seeding for the 128-team playoff, which constitutes the last seven games.  Every team gets seven home and seven away games.  Lesser teams end up playing each other, better teams end up playing each other.  Only the first seven game schedule is assured, then seed #1 plays #65, seed #2 plays #66 and so forth.  Upsets would be few, just the way the big schools like them.
