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.
