After a season like this should there be an NCAA Football Champion?

This season, with no undefeated teams, and even one team which did not even win it's own conference in the BCS Championship game, doesnt the FBS division need a playoff system.

If you forced the PAC 10 and Big 10+ to have a conference championship game, the championship game this year probably would have looked much different.

A playoff could start with the champion of these brackets:

ACC vs Independents

Big East vs MAC

Big 10 N or W vs Big 10 S or E

PAC 10 N vs PAC 10 S

Big 12 N vs Big 12 S

SEC E vs SEC W

Sunbelt vs CUSA

WAC vs MWAC

Then

winner ACC/Ind vs BigE/MAC (#1)

Big 10 Champ vs PAC 10 Champ (#2)

Big 12 Champ vs SEC Champ(#3)

Sunbelt/CUSA vs WAC/MWAC(#4)

then #1 vs #2

#3 vs #4

then

winner 1/2 vs 3/4 for national championship

The 4 Big conferences could always play each other for conference champion, but the rest could be drawn as a lottery to see who actually played who.

Any thoughts?

Update:

I agree the 16 team system would allow the 16 best teams to play in the playoffs, but the system as I suggested allows each conference representation. Though there could be wildcard slots for a few additional good teams, similar to the NFL or Division II or III College Football

    no it wouldn't work. heres why. think about what you put down. the only ones that would play would be the conference champs. that would leave teams like georgia, missouri, kansas, illinois, arizona state, boston college, and texas out of it. heres what i propose: drop all conference championship games, thats right all of them. take the top 12 or 16 teams and do it like the basketball tournament does, 1 v 16, 2 v 15 and so on. after the first round you have eight teams left. use the same format as before 1v8, 2v7 and so on until you are left with 2 teams. they play for the title. no questions then. what do you think of my proposal?

    Look, I have a couple of feedback on those dull solutions. #a million west virginia won't play for a country wide championship. # two LSWho won't beat Auburn or Arkansas. No country wide championship for them. #three Alabama will nonetheless suck. #four Tennessee vs. USC considering the fact that USC performs a number of waterpolo colleges. Winner= Tenneessee.
