I envision a 4 team playoff this way:

1 vs. 4
2 vs. 3
Winners play one game, Losers play another. Obviously, sometimes, this system would suck for the bowl who gets shafted, but now there are 3 really interesting and important games for the title instead of 1, and with a rotation, you will get more of a draw at the big title game, and USC doesn't get shafted 2 years ago, Auburn doesn't get shafted last year.

Arguing over the 4 seed is a lot better than arguing over the 2 seed, IMHO. That's why I propose a 4 team-playoff.
