So you're saying if Missouri had pulled the upset over Bama that they would have been in?
CCGs don't exactly constitute an 8 team playoff in that scenario

They do to a degree. If Missouri rolled in there with 1 loss and won, they would have been in. Similar to how they almost made the BCS last year.
CCG act as an unofficial part of the playoff. It is what got Ohio State in this year. If Bama would have loss, they would have been left out and no SEC team in because Missouri already had 2 losses.
So the CCGs got a team and in and could have prevented a team from making it.

No I will repeat what I said when the season started.
8 team playoff begins with 4 CCG's
4 expected winners will get 1st priority for 4 playoff spots
If an expected CCG winner gets upset then they fill in with a B12 or Notre Dame or BYU based on who has 0 or 1 loss at the time.
The playoff was designed to reign in the SEC not benefit it. It was also intended to consolidate the Power 5 at the expense of the Gang of 5. Going to 8 just destroys what Delany worked so hard to get so don't hold your breath waiting. B1G may suck at football but they have the money, population, and power to not let the power be lost.
