Conference Championship Weekend

Wow! 142 wins over the last 12 seasons, all with at last 10 wins. Seven of eight conference titles. Tigers “down” a bit the last two years - yet 21 wins and another title. Dabo is still a clown, but he is also a great football coach.
 
The P5 championship games for the most part were one sided and boring, with exception to the Big XII. In a CFP 12 team format, the conference championship games should be done away with. All conferences should go to the one big division format.
 
I'd guess:
1. UGA
2. Michigan
3. TCU
4. Ohio State

TCU #4 would make more sense but I don't think the Committee would have Michigan vs. Ohio State rematch as the first round game
 
It doesn’t need to be TCU. They will get hammered by Ohio State, Georgia, or Michigan.

I'd do this, too. The CCG's have almost zero meaning now. However, they were never about that and always about money. People will pay big bucks to see an "extra special" SEC game. I watched maybe 5 minutes of it. What was clear to me in those 5 minutes was that GA Tech played them better than LSU did.

If it was up to me, I’d not only eliminate the conference title games at this point, I’d roll back all conference memberships to ten schools or less and have the requirement that each have round robin conference schedules each year. I’d limit FBS division to 12 conferences with total of 120 schools in the division. Then I’d have a 16 team play-off with the 12 conference champs and the four highest ranked non-champs as at-large teams.

Though it will never happen, I like it, especially if they'd limit the season to 11 games (which should be plenty). The non-playoff teams could even put together a meaningless inter-conference exhibition game at the end if they wanted to. That would provide the number of games needed, and the extra week to get from 16 teams to 8 teams for the playoff. Let's face it - those 12th games that were added about 10 years ago were almost universally against G5, if not FCS, teams. That post-season add-on game would not be any less interesting than those games are. I'd much rather see GA Tech play Arkansas in December than Western Carolina in September.

Yep. On that note, I’d limit the number of bowl games for non-playoff teams to 16, so that would limit the number teams eligible for ‘postseason play’ to 48 (16 in the playoffs and 32 for consolation bowls), which be just a little over 1/3 of FBS schools in my scenario. Perhaps that way even the bowl games would be a little more meaningful.
