That's another approach but that would add another game to playoff teams schedule.
If you instead replace the CCG with the first round of playoffs, then there is no extra game that needs to bevplayed.
The Conference Championship Games would serve as the first round of the playoffs.
1st round - Conference Championship Games - December 2nd/3rd.
2nd round - Seed the Conference Champs and the best of the rest - 16 teams in total. Eight Bowls will host these games played on December 17th/18th of each year.
Alamo Bowl
Arizona Bowl
Belk Bowl
Citrus Bowl
Holiday Bowl
Orange Bowl
Sun Bowl
Taxslayer Bowl
3rd round - Quarter finals - 4 Games on New Year's Day
Cotton Bowl
Outback Bowl
Rose Bowl
Sugar Bowl
4th round - Semifinal - 2 games on January 14th/15th
Fiesta Bowl
Peach Bowl)
5th round - National Championship Game - January 21st (Tampa, Florida)
Note: The NFL AFC and NFC Championships are on January 22nd
CFP This year:
ACC Champ - Clemson
AAC Champ - Temple
Big 12 Champ - Oklahoma
Big Ten Champ - Penn State
CUSA Champ - Western Kentucky
MAC Champ - Western Michigan
MWC Champ - San Diego State
PAC 12 Champ - Washington
SEC Champ - Alabama
SBC Champ - Appalachian State
Then Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Southern California, Colorado, and Florida State.
The 2nd round this year:
Alabama vs Appalachian State
Clemson vs Western Kentucky
Penn State vs San Diego State
Washington vs Western Michigan
Oklahoma vs Temple
Ohio State vs Florida State
Wisconsin vs Colorado
Michigan vs Southern California
This would make everybody happy including the bowls.
