The sample size is small — and we're still awaiting the winners of Florida State-LSU (Sunday, 7:30 p.m. ET, ABC) and Georgia Tech-Clemson (Monday, 8 p.m. ET, ESPN) this holiday weekend — but it's never too early to look at the far horizon and what this might mean for the College Football Playoff.

Ohio State grinded through a tougher-than-expected win over Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish forced the Buckeyes into more punts than they had in any game last season, but the Buckeyes found their run game in the second half and held on for a victory they can point back at in December.

Defending national champion Georgia looked better than ever, defeathering Oregon in the midafternoon slate of games. Bulldogs quarterback Stetson Bennett completed an incredible 80% of his passes before departing in the third quarter.

The Pac-12's chances of a playoff berth suffered a blow when Utah came up just short of Florida at The Swamp, but Southern California — behind three pick-sixes — could be a force under new coach Lincoln Riley.

Alabama coasted behind five touchdown passes from Bryce Young, the most ever for a Crimson Tide QB in a season opener, while top-10 teams Texas A&M, Michigan, Oklahoma and Baylor also cruised to victories.
