This isn’t a bad idea. You can’t expand the CFP beyond 16 because it adds too many games. But, a second tournament to replace the bowls (or use them as 1st round games seems possible). Add NIL money to the mix if you need to like they’re doing for basketball.

Man, how salty would you be as a bartender/bar-owner in San Antonio knowing the Alamo passed over ISU for BYU?
....and ISU never travels well and the fact we didn't play the Buffs either. What's with the love for BYU?
Bars in San Antonio would hate BYU there.
Why not five!
Colorado sneaks into the NCAA tournament as a #11 seed.
They're not great but they'll have opportunities for big wins in the Big 12.
They've already banked the UConn win, which hopefully will age well.
Bumps into #2 Iowa State in the third round in Indianapolis in the NCAA tournament.
If you look at one of my previous posts I said I felt Iowa State and BYU would both be considered for the spot to go against Colorado. I totally agree. I was there against Washington State and had an amazing time
If USC decides to get rid of Lincoln Riley, I could see Prime going to USC. Otherwise, he is probably going to the NFL with Shadeur. It might be a challenge to make that a package deal, though.
An awfully convenient thing to say before the games are selected.
I think I might be different if it was somewhere new. Only possible exception is Alamo.
It also doesn't help that the NY6 bowls are now playoff games. If those were still around and we ended up in one of those, I'd definitely be interested. But going 10-3 (if we lose CCG) and going to Orlando or Memphis just doesn't really excite me.
If BYU had lost, I actually had the discussion with my brother-in-law after our game that they should just decline a bowl and have Saturday's game be the best end to the season. If we couldn't go to the CCG or the playoff, let the way that game ended be the end to the season.

Orlando vs Miami would suck. God I don’t want to get stuck playing there again. Especially against a team from Florida
Assuming no CFP:
Alamo = schwing
Orlando = barf
And don't get me started on Shreveport or Memphis 5, which would be worse than Star Trek 5.

The teams most likely to land the top picks in the draft include...
Jacksonville
Las Vegas
NY Giants
New England
Carolina
NY Jets
Tennessee
Cleveland
Some of those teams don't need a quarterback (e.g., Jacksonville, New England, Carolina given that Bryce Young has looked better lately and maybe they'll give him another year to try one more time). Some of those teams don't need a coach (e.g., New England) though many of them will need both.
One of those teams would have to have already fired their coach or fire their coach to hire the Father and make it clear Shadeur is going to refuse to play for any other team if he's drafted.
Maybe the team can work out some friendly agreement (with New York's thumb on the scale) to send a team a few picks to switch orders to accommodate them not drafting Shadeur and causing a crisis.
Assuming the prices are competitive (near going rates for flights and hotel), I would consider taking the charter.
I'll give my two cents from talking with other Cyclones today, you'll have no problem filling a charter to the Alamo Bowl. Any other bowl outside the CFP definitely won't be super well attended.
