Well presumably if there is a championship game in a conference there would be multiple divisions in the conference. Whether it's east/west or north/south. Have teams play within their division, the division winner plays for the championship. Or decide the conference champion during regular season conference play.

Those are solid options, but I would oppose doing away with a conference championship game in your second scenario. I always hated ND having one less chance to lose a conference championship game than other teams, just because they were independent (and mostly because I hate seeing ND propped up every single season).
