With the portal being open before bowl season, then adding in opt outs and the CFP being the only real bowl games -- I don't put any weight towards these non-CFP game results.
So far, to me, Ohio had the most impressive win, while the two 'supe conferences are showing why they should have the overwhelming majority of teams in the CFP, as Clemson, Boise State, SMU all looked outclassed.
Hopefully on next year they stop handing out byes to teams in weak conferences and make them play the extra games to earn the right to play for the title
