If you want to figure out who the best team is, that's the only way to do it. Putting restrictions on the number of teams from a conference that can make it into a playoff doesn't help to "determine it on the field" which was the go-to response for proponents of the playoffs. If the four best teams are from the SEC (or from the B1G, or from the Big 12) those are the teams that should make it, IMO.
It happens in every sport that a division or a conference is loaded with talent, and teams that would have made it in had they been in a different division/conference are sitting at home while an inferior team makes it in over them because they enjoyed the benefit of a shittier division/conference. That doesn't help to determine it on the field. And I think anyone that has used that argument has to also support the possibility of 4 SEC teams in the playoffs.
