The winners of those games would surely disagree that it hurts them. Again, smells like total fear, just being honest. Also, this would be GREAT for college football. I couldn’t disagree more with your assertion this would be bad for both conferences.

You are continually missing the point.
As a fan, these games would be fun to watch.
But as a coaching staff, you're job is to make the playoffs.
Without scheduling a Big 10 (or SEC opponent in the Big 10's case) either tOSU or LSU (for example) could make the CFP by simply winning out with their current scheduling format.
Adding a top 10 team to your already tough schedule draws no benefit and massively increases your chances of missing the CFP.
Good for the fans, but if I was a coach with my job on the line, there's no reason to schedule this way.

Very good chance that 2 of the top 4 teams (most likely top 3 honestly) get matched up in regular season, and puts the loser at risk for not making it to the playoffs.
Save it for the bowl matchups.
Now, if you drop the bowls entirely and push it to a 16 team playoff, I'm all in.
