That was what the old bowl system got right: it kept fan bases interested, because their team would be playing in a game that at least meant something to them.
This line of thinking changed several years ago. Ever since the playoff began, the Sugar Bowl doesn't mean shite to the SEC anymore because playing in it means you weren't good enough to be in the playoff.

But you also said this:

I know that I watch less college football in general when Georgia gets taken out of playoff contention. I still watch Georgia games but other games mean nothing to me anymore. That is bad for the sport.
That's the point - under the old bowl system, fans stayed interested because their teams were still playing in a game that meant something to them. Changing bowl season to 3 games "that matter" and a slew of also-playeds does not hold fan interest nearly as much.
