Sources told ESPN that under the recommended model, the four teams would be selected by a committee that would consider certain criteria such as conference championships and strength of schedule.
This still leaves the potential for a screw job open. This is basically the same thing as the BCS, but they pick 4 teams instead of 2.

It's a step in the right direction, but it's still not close to where it should be. Another thing they need to work on is getting rid of preseason polls.

Why only 4 teams? Get a full 16 teams in there. Make it really fair.

Because the teams that make the championship would be playing up to 16 or 17 games.

Yeah, throughout the season, but so what? 16 is how much the NFL plays. Even if not 16, at least 8. Give some high ranked non big schools a chance.

They would probably have to do away with the bowl season in order to do a 16 team playoff. Something that I doubt the NCAA is willing to do.

Either get rid of them, have the playoff matchups considered the bowl games, or have the shit-tier bowls played alongside the playoffs.

Then they can pay for their schooling themselves instead of having it paid for, and not play football. And the ones who do pay for their school and don't want to play can get off the team. The guys who love football would play 16 games.

No where in my post did I say they don't want to play more games. The NCAA shouldn't put them in that position if they're not going to get paid for playing, and if they're going to continue to refer to them as Student-Athletes, making a huge emphasis on the student part.
