They're stupid.
Hmm, we have 5 major conferences?  Let's have a 4-team playoff.  Let's guarantee exclusion of somebody!
Ah, damn!  Everyone seems to want inclusion!  Who could have predicted such a thing?!?!!!?
.
All the while, giving worse teams a chance at the NC, and guaranteeing more rematches, etc.  
Fun stuff.

I'm really surprised it took this long given the $$$ left on the table each year.  I know we fans watch the Poulan Weedeater Bowl in mid-December because, well, at least it's some football.  But not many folks do obviously.  Even the Citrus Bowl has poor attendance on site even if its ratings are "OK".  We'll now have four games twice (8) with much better ratings followed by two more and the NC.  So, if I calculated right, 8 TV events with ratings better than the Citrus Bowl gets.

The Citrus and lesser bowls are going to be even more of an afterthought, I'd guess the really small ones will die completely.  I don't know how many would get left.

A good thing IMO.  Any bowl that generally takes place before Christmas can go.

Percentagewise, maybe not really, as SEC teams have comprised more than 25% of the CFP offering over time.  That would likely remain about the same with 12, 3 or 4, maybe a slight uptick?

Will we still have the CFP committee concept setting the schedules?

Anytime you can get the word 'chaos' in the title, you've done your job of getting more clicks than you probably should.

I think the days of the conference championship game may be numbered for P5 conferences.  What's the point if the conference's 2 best teams both make the playoff anyway?  Better to just expand the playoff to 16 teams and get rid of the CCG.
unless they figure out a way to make more money some other way, ccg are here to stay. jmo

The larger threat to CGs could be players sitting out, or coaches playing their 2s instead.  I wouldn't do this, but some might?
