There would be more focus on the playoffs, obviously, but I think the smaller bowl games would have as much recognition as they have now, which isn't a lot. The fans of the teams would still care, and the hosting city would care... just like now though, I pay attention to matchups during the bowls, and those matchups would matter no less if there was a playoff. Just like someone said, it's already the NIT... you can strive for a bowl or a BCS bowl, so there's already a difference. We're just changing the format.

The smaller bowls still get televised. Before the Final Four of the NIT, none of it gets televised.
I'm not sure they can agree on a way to split the money.
