I think that just moves the problem: Instead of being unable to create the channel, I'll be unable create the playlist because adding 100 videos to playlist is still 100 API calls. (Also, create the playlist under who's account? Create a PseudoTV user that has, literally, 1000s of playlists for each PsuedoTV Live user? Or force user to submit their youtube account details and have it create playlists on their account?)
The best solution I can think of is for me to create a youtube video that just says "Error: API Overload" and have it pass that video information back to PseduoTV Live when the API limit is hit. So, for the 10% of the time that it doesn't work for, it'll at least tell them why and they'll still have a working channel list. Then, hopefully, on the channel's next refresh, they won't hit the limit and those videos will eventually get populated. Not the prettiest of solutions... But, the view count on the video will also be a good indication of how often users are hitting the API limit.
