the death of the conference championship games. Why should the B1G, SEC, and ACC, etc. risk their #8 ranked team (Florida, or Northwestern, or Miami) getting blown out by Alabama, Ohio State, or Clemson, thus knocking them out of the playoffs? Better to remove that game and get 2 teams in guaranteed, and possibly sneak a 3rd in.

I believe this is why they’ve added in a qualifier that you have to win a conference to be top 4 and get a BYE.
