re: Bowl games mean nothing anymore

They didn't really meant anything before either, you just cared for some reason.

This is what I don't get. Before the BCS, none of the bowls really meant anything. They were (and still are, mostly) glorified exhibition games. The BCS created the idea of a bowl serving as the "National Championship". Before that, you'd be lucky to have #1 and #2 play each other.

I don't know how "old" OP is, but in my lifetime, only a handful of bowls have ever actually meant anything. The CFP made more games matter than ever before.

All Of that being said, I've still always enjoyed the bowl games with good matchups. I don't care about the New Orleans Bowl or some of these other games between 6-6 teams, but the Holiday Bowl is always a good watch. The Citrus, Outback, Orange, etc. are all great games.
