One would think with all these different ‘Bowl’ games around the country, they could assemble a real playoff structure, and it would increase viewership as well....................Yeah, I know I’m dreaming..................

That was never the point of the bowl games, and they aren’t owned by the NCAA. The Rose Bowl, for example, is owned by the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association. It is an outgrowth of the Parade, and accompanying fair...not the other way around.
Pasadena, being the Indiana Colony of Pasadena, added an exhibition game to their spectacle between a prominent college where they were, and a prominent college from where they were from. They spent more than a century building this up. For what reason would they want to give this up so someone else can take their *century* of work and repurpose it to their detriment?
