The playoff has ruined the bowl games.. their is no doubt about it. The teams that were close to the playoff usually play a little down. The teams outside the playoff play up a bit.

The playoff matchups are a little better than the bowl system

This year the Rose bowl would have been Ohio State and Oregon. Orange Clemson and Oklahoma. Sugar LSU and Baylor. Good games I guess. Not really decisive regarding a national title.

The situation is probably the best that can be made of a bad situation. Going to eight teams would not make it any better.

The playoff didn't ruin the bowl games, the proliferation of bowl games ruined the bowl games. If there were only 5-10 bowl games, people would care a whole lot more. As it is now, bowl games are basically lopsided OOC matchups that are just as boring as regular season lopsided OOC matchups.

UGA playing Baylor in the Sugar Bowl? Who in the ever loving frick could care one bit about that game?

The fact is that the fans that care the most about bowl games are the fans of teams in the CFP, and the fans of teams who haven't been eligible for a bowl game for a while.
