It still matters and rather than it only mattering to 8 teams by seven weeks in like the BCS years and prior, it now matters to at least 25-30 teams with a 12 team playoff.

Which is just another way of saying the regular season no longer matters. You can try to put make-up on a pig but, at the end of the day, it's still a pig. What you people don't understand is that the regular season was the playoff. Now you can lose two or three games in said season and still have an opportunity to play for a national championship. How does that do anything other than marginalize the regular season and make it less relevant?

So ironic seeing Bama fans make these statements.

Pretty much everything that sucks about CFB now was all done to cater to your program the majority of the past two decades. Yeah yeah, maybe one or two years in the middle of that some other blue blood got a narrative change to keep their regular season losses from hurting them, but to see these statements now is laughable.

The regular season hasn't meant anything to anyone that is not a blue blood in nearly 15 years. Only change is now the blue bloods can lose 2-3 games and still make the playoffs, as opposed to having to shove them in a 2 or four team "final" when they don't win their conference or division (or both).
