With only a four-team playoff I only think only conference winners should be included.

Absolutely not. And 8-5 ACC champ or a 8-5 Big East champ are not in the same country let alone league as say an 10-2 SEC/Big 12 or B1G champ. Plus there are more then 4 BCS conferences. Take the top four nationally ranked teams and go with that. I say a playoff including the top 8 would be ideal but you have to take what u get.
