And, as for the BCS, I still don't understand how we can't just consider the conference season and conference championship games a de facto tournament. Combine that with the BCS and ... presto ... quickie pseudo-tournament.

Simple: the championship is not truely decided on the field. If you have a bad game late in the year, you will most likely finish behind the team that had their bad game early in the year, which is not the way to do things. The polls are much too fickle to use for a real championship.
Interesting idea for a playoff that I take only partial credit for:
Eight teams
No automatic bids
Selection committee selects the top eight teams and seeds them.
Start on December 18th every year, go three weeks with championship game on New Years' Day.
