I agree to an extent, especially concerning the point about how multiple bowl games could have NC implications - oftentimes those games would be played on the exact same day.
The end of the 1978 season saw these three bowl games directly impact the NC picture:
1979 Sugar Bowl
#1 Penn State vs. #2 Alabama
1979 Orange Bowl
#4 Oklabama vs. #6 Nebraska
1979 Rose Bowl
#3 USC vs. #5 Michigan
Five of the six teams playing in those three games had a legitimate shot of winning the national championship if the cards fell correctly.

I think that is a prime example of why it sucked really.
#1 vs #2 should be "the game" that matters. And was really. USC splitting the title was bullshite and against really just highlights the stupidity of the systems. If Penn St wins the sugar bowl it doesn't happen.
That whole situation just sucked. College football was held hostage by the Rose Bowl, Big10 and Pac.
