Pod Semifinals

You could do it two ways.
The easiest way would be to seed them based on CFP rankings. Higher seeds host semifinals, championship game rotates between Dallas, Atlanta and New Orleans.
The more traditional way would be to seed them based on conference record and a tiebreak scenario.
For example, using the pods that have become popular:
Pod A: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri
Pod B: State, Ole Miss, LSU, Texas A&M
Pod C: Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
Pod D: Kentucky, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia
Missouri wins Pod A with a 7-2 record
State wins Pod B with a 9-0 record
Vanderbilt wins Pod C with a 7-2 record
Kentucky wins Pod D with a 6-3 record
State is the top seed and Kentucky is the 4 seed, so Kentucky travels to State for the semifinal the week after the Egg Bowl.
Missouri and Vanderbilt have the same conference record and did not play each other in the regular season. You go to common opponents, Texas lost to Vanderbilt, but beat Missouri, so Vanderbilt would host Missouri in the other semifinal. If tied after common opponents, you could then go to CFP ranking
Feel free to use any other teams in this scenario, but it would work.

There won't be a semifinal.

If anything we should go the other way and just get rid of the conference championship game

It would not work, I don't see playing a potential of 14 games before you even START the 12 team playoffs. Especially in the SEC.

I like the rotating pod pairings someone posted yesterday.
Year 1: AB & CD
Year 2: AC & BD
Year 3: AD & BC
best record in each pairing goes to the championship.
