I maintain that the best format was to have the entire bowl season (no championship week) with their respective tie-ins like we had before the playoff era. It would be a de-facto first round, but on a larger scale. THEN you take the top 4 (or top 8) teams. This would mitigate opt outs, provide for way more exciting games, preserve the tradition of each of the (major) bowls.
