The final CFP rankings reveal and announcements of bowl matchups would also be pushed to Monday afternoon after the Army-Navy Game if a made-up game on the preceding Saturday could impact the rankings.

For future seasons, when non-conference games between 2 FBS teams can't be played on their originally scheduled date for some reason (usually related to weather) the games should be moved to the second Saturday of December if the teams don't have any common bye weeks.

Thus, to ensure that it remains the final game of the FBS regular season for all teams, the Army-Navy Game would be moved to a primetime slot on the Sunday night of that weekend, which means the NFL stadium where the Army-Navy Game is being played that year can't be used by its regular tenants that Sunday (in 2021, it would be the Giants and Jets that couldn't use MetLife Stadium on December 12, as one of the teams has to have a home game there virtually every week where both teams are active, one would have to play on Thursday or Monday night).

The three rivalry pods (California, Northwest, Mountain) need to have their round-robin schedules protected in the temporary schedule format.

The rest of each team's schedule should be determined by how good they did the previous year (not just conference, but overall), which the Big Ten not doing is going to hurt their CFP chances.

Are you actually trying to improve the product, through your changes, or just wanting to change things for the sake of change?  Spice things up, so to speak.  I haven't really seen anything you've suggested that makes the actual product any better.

The idea of using the second Saturday of December for makeup games stems from my desire that every regular season game scheduled for a given year gets played somehow. There have been too many games in recent years which couldn't be rescheduled after weather made them impossible to play.
