Thought That I Haven't Seen Expressed for Playoff Expansion

As usual I try to watch as many bowls as possible. One topic that kept getting brought up was players sitting and the commentators typically took the "Its their right but it kind of sucks" tone. 

This brings me to the thought of why some of the upper tier bowls would want to have an expanded playoff. So far, no player has sat out a playoff game because "it matters". 

With TV ratings increasingly becoming an issue and players sitting causing entertainment issues I could see the powers that be wanting more games to be in the "It matters" category because it would force the top players to play and therefore increase those tv numbers.

Thoughts?
