Kind of depends on how much the SEC is able to corrupt the new system.

November games vs 1aa teams is total corruption of the system, make all games vs 1aa schools no longer count as a win.
The conferences arent all playing by the same rules now. It doesnt matter if there is a 4, 8, 16 or even 32 team playoff system, until all the conferences play by the same rules, it wont matter
Sounds good on paper, but it isn't that black and white.
What do you then do about 1A schools like Cal, FIU, Idaho, New Mexico, etc that are horrible. These teams would get worked by, Sam Houston, Eastern Washington and a few others. You pointed out that Stanford should get more credit for a loss than Bama should for a win over Chattanooga. If that is the case, ATM should get more credit for the win over Sam Houston than any PAC 12 team did for their win over Cal.

Yeah, thanks! Back to back bowls, chance for an 11 win season. Good things are happening in Houston.
I have been saying for years the merger of the southwest conference with the big 8 would be good for us, and it has been.

So your saying Cal went winless? Is this the first time we've had a winless National Champion?

Nope, USC.
