The first round of the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff is over, and boy, howdy, were those games underwhelming. They were so bad -- HOW BAD WERE THEY? -- they were so bad that it led to every talking head in the college football universe complaining and arguing about the format with some even saying wins aren't that important.

Four of the eight teams remaining in the College Football Playoff certainly proved they belong after dominating their respective opponents in the first round, and now the race for the 2024 national championship embarks on the quarterfinal round in the coming days.
