They need to do away with conference championship games. Consider that with the new playoff, the top 4 teams get a bye. Those top 4 teams must be a conference champion. I assume that means the winner of conference championship is crowned champ. So What if Bama goes unbeaten and then loses in the SEC championship to maybe a 2 loss team? That 2 loss team is getting a bye and Bama is playing a first round playoff game.
Or a worse scenario, your conference has 2 teams that could make a playoff, but you force them to play each other and now you only get 1 playoff team for your conference.
Competitively It makes zero sense to still have conference championship games. But money money money.
