Exactly!
BCS sucked. Big time.
Playoff with 4 teams is better, but still a bit broken.
Eight teams, seeded, higher seeded team getting a home game in the first round.
That would be perfect...and is already overdue.
Strictly a hypothetical ... 5 unbeatens

An 8 team playoff would be fantastic, but home games really aren't the best solution. The NCAA is already trying to keep the major bowls alive by making them part of the playoff, so stop rotating them and take the idea further.
Use the Rose, Sugar, Orange, and Fiesta Bowls as the quarterfinal round . You could even mostly preserve the traditional conference tie-ins, if you can tolerate match ups that aren't a perfectly seeded bracket.
Imagine last year looking like this:
Sugar - 1 Alabama vs. 8 Michigan State
Rose - 4 Ohio State vs. 3 Oregon
Fiesta - 5 TCU vs. 6 Baylor
Orange - 2 Florida State vs. 7 Mississippi State
Take these winners, reseed them, and determine a champ Final Four style at one of the bowl sites.
I think something like this is where things will end up, eventually.

People outside Iowa are used to Iowa being a 6 to 8 win team. That's just the way its always been (old far talking) Its always been that way. So when you present someone with an Iowa team with a wonderful record, they just don't believe it. "Me and Betty been coming down here to the lodge for 25 years on toosdey for spagetti. Spagetti nights always been on toosdey, thats just the way its always been.
Hard to overcome it.
And I don't think Iowa would get the votes of committee.

13-0, Iowa is in cfb. Anything from there is gravy.
12-1, Iowa is likely in the Rose
11-2, Iowa plays in the B1G Championship, whatever else is gravy
10 wins, Iowa likely still gets to B1G Championship
9 wins would be dissappointing, yet miles better than anyone thought prior to the season.
It's just so awesome that any of these are achievable at this point. just awesome.

I don't see any scenario ever where a 13-0 big ten team doesn't make the playoff. Whether it's "right" or not the big ten has a lot of power and money in college football and an extremely large fan base. The backlash from the big ten would be too much for the playoff system to withstand.

Another interesting question is if you replace an undefeated LSU with 12-1 Alabama, does Alabama get in over 13-0 Iowa, particularly if the Iowa beats in the BTT game has a loss before the game?
Alabama does have national power Charleston Southern (Sagarin #154) yet to play, so I might be getting ahead of myself here.
