Every game means the world. A loss last night and USCe is toast (albiet a longshot) for a national title and a win last night and Florida is still in the hunt (even with how idiotic our OC is) for a national title.
Games mean something in CFB and unlike the NFL, one or two or even 3 or 4 losses doesn't mean squat to the owner or the players as long as they are in the playoffs they are still in the hunt for the championship. Nothing like having a team that won only half it's games winning the Superbowl...

Every game does not mean the world because now the SEC championship game is likely meaningless, in a play-off system the game would still be huge.
Every game for Alabama is virtually meaningless now but another loss in a play-off system would be killer meaning that their games from here on out would be key.
Every game for TCU is meaningless every season but in a play-off system would be important.
Michigan's game are meaningless but would matter under a play-off system.
The crap that only in this ######ed system do games matter is just that crap. Games would still be important under a play-off system and in many seasons, if not all, there would be a lot more important games and certainly teams with more to play for later on in the season rather than teams having their seasons end as early as the first game of the season and then just going through the motions for the rest of the year.
