I'm liking that some schools are starting to go this route, and I think that the playoff is pushing many in that direction (though not all).
Look at UGA's nonconference schedule over the coming years:
'20- open in Atl vs UV (eh, but when it was scheduled they were up n' comers, and still played for the ACC championship last year)
'21- open in Atl vs Clemson
'22- open in Atl vs Oregon
'23- @ Oklahoma
'24- Clemson in Atl
'25- @ UCLA
'26- UCLA @ UGA (finally, a home game)
'27- @ FSU (maybe they'll be "back" by that time)
'28- @ Texas, FSU at Sanford Stadium
'29- Texas, Clemson
'30- Clemson, THE Ohio State University
'31- Ohio State, Oklahoma
'32 and '33- Clemson
On top of that they play GT every year, which is a crazy rivalry game that trips them up every once in a while.
So, UGA says "check mate" on tough out of conference schedule
