So essentially you're wanting to throw away all the tradition of conference championships so you can watch games that interest you more. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. Conference championships still mean something to some of us.
The B1G Championship is actually more important to me than national championships. At least, it was until they came up with the BCS. Why? Because it was clearly earned on the field of play, and because you had to beat the teams that were your rivals to get there. Back then, national championships relied on a lot of factors that had nothing to do with the play on the field.
In today's college football world, the B1G Championship is still important, but not as important. Why? Because National Championships are now earned on the field, making a conference championship a second level priority. You can lose your conference championship and still get into the playoff and win the higher prize.
Do I still value the B1G Championship? Absolutely. But I would give up the GAME (game only) if it made it more likely that the right teams made it into the CFP. There are other ways to name a conference champion. What I want to preserve is a system that places value on the conferences, but not at the expense of ensuring that the best teams all get a chance to win a national championship on the field.
One way to do that is what Saban suggested. End the CCGs, but add an additional round to the playoffs. The first round - home games for the higher seeds. This gives the fans another home game without the absurd travel expenses and ticket costs. You replace one playoff game with another (because they already are playoff games, if not in name), but all 4 top teams have to play a similarly difficult opponent.
All that said, I am fine with things the way that they are. I love college football and will continue to watch no matter how they change these things.
