The first round bye doesn’t guarentee that they will make the championship game. Just look at the NFL playoffs. When was the last time we had a 1 seed vs a 1 seed in rhe Super Bowl? Kansas City and SF are the only one seeds to make it to the Super Bowl in the last 5 years. KC did it twice and SF once. Teams can always come out flat after that bye week. I’m just happy that we are getting more teams in the college football playoffs. I think it will make it more exciting, especially the first time a high seed wins it all.
