You could still have a ladder system if it's based on non-poll, simple rules. For example just make a very easy to understand formula like wins (not counting FCS wins) minus losses and modified by an SoS as determined by opponent w/l records. Require 8 conference games and 4 OOC games. Go ahead and schedule an FCS opponent, but it will lower your possible total wins, and doesn't affect your SoS.
Using that the top 10 would currently look like this:
1. Auburn
2. Arizona State
3. Stanford
4. Missouri
5. Ohio State
6. Florida State
7. South Carolina
8. Alabama
9. Baylor
10. Oklahoma State

Yeah this is true and happened about 2 blocks from my friends house. In a upper middle class neighborhood.
Fucking Bama fans make me sick.

16 team would be the best, the 10 conference champions, +6 at large.

just think of all the incredible college matchups we are missing out on the longer the BCS bowl ranking structure exists.
I would go ham if UCF played Stanford in a playoff setting

The problem with automatic spots for all 10 champions is that 9 out of 10 years the lesser conferences wouldn't survive round 1, and they won't bring in enough of an audience to really make it worthwhile. Of course requiring more OOC non-FCS games would give those teams more opportunities to play higher quality opponents with winning records, giving them more opportunities to make it into the upper rankings. You could even go so far as to require teams to schedule at least 1 OOC game with 4 different conferences every year, which would certainly present more common opponents for comparison purposes.
Never happen
Of course it won't, the system is too ingrained to be easily fixed with simple logic. We must preserve the sanctity of the bowl system, or rather the corporate interests who purchased the rights to said bowls decades ago. We must continue to use the poll system, the rules of which were set up in the 1930s. Nevermind that college football junkies would watch every single game of the above 16 team tourny. It's too difficult to determine which organization gets to own it and who gets what percentage of the profits.
