Are they really that qualified to be determining the best teams in the nation?

They're probably as qualified as anyone else to try to sort out a four-team playoff from a field of 128 programs across ten conferences... Personally, I'd like to see a six-team playoff with the Power Five conference winners getting automatic bids, plus one at-large bid (wildcard), with first-round byes for the top two seeds. This is essentially the same as a conference playoff in the NFL. You'd still need to solve the problem of seeding the conference winners and selecting the at-large bid, and that is where there will always be controversy and disagreement.
Not to say that the NFL solution is perfect. It drives me nuts when a .500 team gets a 4th seed by virtue of winning their crappy division, while half a dozen other teams spend all December scrambling to get a 6th seed with 10-6 records or better.
