The 2 best division champs would play in the conference CG.

Those 3 x 24 wouldn't happen for like a dozen years. By then there likely will be more playoff teams than 12. But let's assume it is still 12.

Right now 6 of 10 conf champs get in (P5 + best G5). If we are down to 8 conferences then they can push for 4 of 8 (P3 + best G5). That is the same access for the G5 and adds 2 more at larges. Or at the very least 5 of 8 (P3 + 2 G5) which is more access for the G5 and one more at large.

Or you can have 7 team conference tournaments and reduce the CFB Playoffs to 4 teams. So instead of just the B16 CG they have QFs, SFs, and a CG. The playoffs are the 3 best conf champs (likely B16, SEC, and ABP) plus one at large (2nd team from one of those 3 or a G5). Be able to sell 5 conference playoff games keeps the money in your conference. In the 12 team playoff you do not know how many slots you will end up with.

So something like...

Big Ten
QF
Penn State at Notre Dame
Minny at USC
UNC at Ohio State
SF
Penn State at Michigan
Ohio State at USC
CG
Ohio State vs Michigan

SEC
QF
Tenn at LSU
BYU at Bama
Texas at Clemson
SF
LSU at UGA
Clemson at Bama
CG
Bama vs UGA

ACC/B12/P10
QF
Utah at UCF
Duke at K State
Cincy at Oregon State
SF
Utah at TCU
Oregon State at K State
CG
K State vs TCU

Playoffs
SF
Michigan vs UGA
K State vs Ohio State
CG
Ohio State vs UGA

Edit

Or you can have the playoffs be 5 teams. The P3, an at large, and the G5 tourny champ. While the P3 are having their conference tournaments, the G5 winners can play in a playoff to get into the national playoffs.

So...

QFs
Toledo at WKU
SFs
WKU at Tulane
Fresno State at Troy
Final
Fresno State at Tulane

Playoffs
QF
Michigan at Tulane
