First round of the playoffs were a dud, I think this has more to do with there being 2 lopsided conferences meaning you have teams like Boise State and Arizona state getting byes. If we had the conferences of last year, Oregon wins the PAC 12, Texas wins the Big 12, Penn State/Ohio State wins the BIG 10, and Georgia/Alabama wins the SEC. I think the resulting first round is more entertaining and the conferences are honestly more entertaining as well. If you only play 9 conference games, it is kinda tough to say who the best team really is when there are 16 teams.
