In a round-robin only, there's a chance where you could have more than 2 teams with just 1 conference loss where head-to-head doesn't settle it (i.e., Texas beats Oklahoma, Oklahoma State beats Texas, Oklahoma beats Oklahoma State). I know it happened in the SEC before the SECCG came about. It may not be a common occurrence, but when that happens, who would go to the play-off?
The same thing happens in a divisional setup now. They would decide their own tie breaker just like each conference does now for ties for a division title.

I just think a championship game is cleaner
You're right about that. With a CG, every conference championship is an outright title and not a shared one, so there's no controversy over who gets into the playoff.
