It doesn't matter to me if Michigan wins their bowl game and finishes as the number two team in the country, or Floida wins theirs and finishes number three.
I enjoy a good football game, but the only bowl game that has any relevance is the BCS Championship.
The rest are just window dressing.

Like I said, to the casual fan, it doesn't matter.
For the college football fan, they are awesome. You get to see matchups that traditionally, you would never see. As a fan of a school, you get to travel and see your team in yet another game, in a city you rarely get to. For the program itself, it's huge. You get added revenue, and you get a month of practice, which is very critical for young teams.
If a playoff system was implemented, you wouldn't get the good matchups of the 7-5, 8-4, and 9-3 teams, because alot of the lower tier bowls would be eliminated, due to lack of interest/revenue. However, I agree that too many teams get in to bowls, and the fact that you can use D-IAA wins is a JOKE.
