How does expansion make fewer games valuable?
It makes more games matter for sure, but less games matter as much. But it’s a good trade off with the new system.

If anything, it's going to make more games matter. Now there will be twenty teams fighting for spots 5-12 instead of eight teams fighting for 1-4. The losses may mean less so far as whether you get in or not, but every top 25 game is going to matter now because more top 25 teams will have a chance to win and get in.
Did you even read my post? I was arguing FOR the 12-team playoff, because, like you said, it makes more games matter, while still rewarding teams with great regular seasons by giving them a significant advantage in the playoffs. What I am against is expanding it even further to 16 or, God forbid, 32. That would destroy the regular season.
12 is perfect. Includes all P5 conferences, gives access to the G5, and makes more regular season games meaningful without making any meaningless by rewarding the top 4 with better chances to win the playoffs.

I assume the advantage you are referring to is the bye? To get the bye they have to win a conference champ game which teams like Ohio State who at 11-1 is in as a wild card without question in a 12 team format do not have to play. By the time you get to a final 8. Using this year as an example, Georgia and Michigan will have played the same # of games as Ohio St and Alabama.
