This is not a commentary on whether expanding the playoff is a good thing, but non-conference schedules are getting better in coming years. Alabama is playing home-and-homes (starting next year @ Texas) instead of their 'neutral' site games. Georgia has some insane non-league schedules in coming years, although some might be amended as they had scheduled series with both Texas and Oklahoma prior to them saying they'll join the SEC.

There are many other examples. This appears to be connected to falling attendance and not the playoff, but the better games are a good thing regardless of cause.
