My thoughts exactly!

The only thing I can think of is that they wanted the college trophy to look like the NFL trophy. No one can say the new one looks better than the old one. the old one just looked special and that it was worth fighting for. The new one looks like a trophies I got for winning the SLYFA super bowl with the Walker Renegades in the 90's.

Actually they didn't. It's still awarded to the coaches poll winner. During the BCS era it was the most prestigious trophy as the winner of the BCSNCG contractually won the coaches trophy. Since 2014, the CFP trophy is generally recognized as the most prestigious as it's obviously awarded to the playoff winner. The coaches trophy will go to the same winner 99 times out of 100 but it's no longer obligated to.
