Opt outs are caused by the playoff games being elevated at the expense of others.
I don't buy it. Even back in the AP era (before the BCS when NC was voted on by media), only a few teams going into bowl season had a chance at the MNC. You still didn't see teams ranked, say 20th, opting out of bowl games even though their chances of winning the MNC were zero.

The power of the word “playoff”:
2016 offered the first opt outs, only after 2 years of the playoff.
Uga never had an opt out until after we made the playoff.
The timing isn’t coincidence.
