Why did most of them matter before?
Well in the days of yore, before the advent of the Bowl Coalition/Alliance/Championship Series, the champion of college football was voted upon by the media and coaches. That means New Years Day could be very interesting as multiple bowl games could contain your eventual national champion.
Also...as has been noted, winning your conference and getting to the Sugar Bowl or the Rose Bowl was seen as more of an accomplishment than winning the national championship. Being voted the national champion of college football was simply the cherry on top.

I’ll tell you what’s really sad, and that’s the low turnout for the Sugar Bowl of all things.
