If so, how important?  Did Miami peak at the right time last year? Did Ohio State Peak at the right time the year before?

Did Texas Peak at the right time 2 years ago ?

I think Texas peaked too early in 24, to be honest. 

Miami and Ohio State peaked in the sense they were clicking on all cylinders especially defensively once the CFP came around. 2024 Texas had some question marks throughout the season that followed them til the end, particularly o line/run game/red zone and Quinn’s inconsistencies (health was major factor there). 
 

To answer the question, peaking at the right time is important in all sports. Especially with an expanded CFP, there’s a little more margin for error earlier on than later in the season. Even 2024 ND made the natty after losing to NIU early.

Absolutely peaking in playoffs is always important. tOSU lost its last regular season game to a bad Michigan team at home.

Miami definitely peaked in the playoffs. Ohio State did as well the year before but I think a lot of that was from that team being ridiculously pissed off for several weeks between losing to Michigan and blowing out Tennessee in Columbus. Once they hit their stride they never looked back.
