Perhaps it's a typo which is suppose to state that if a conference with 10 teams that doesn't play a round robin can have a CCG? That's seem to make the most sense to me.

It makes perfect sense. Its a poison pill. You must play a full round robin. That means you are guaranteed a rematch in a game that makes no sense because #1 already beat #2. That lowers the TV value and increases the possibility (since its hard to beat a good team twice-see Alabama/LSU a few years back and Florida-FSU in the 90s-there is a good chance for an upset) that you get a team knocked out of the playoffs. Much more so than in the 14 team conferences. So the Big 12 playing a ccg in a 10 team conference with a rr puts them at more of a disadvantage than they are at now.

except in cases where you have co-champions which seems to happen frequently in the Big 12

If you have a round robin they will already have played. If you have a 3 way tie, it doesn't really help.
