This is absolutely true and something people don't seem to grasp, maybe it's just younger people. 

It's true that lower tier bowls were always "irrelevant" however they were generally not viewed or treated by the fans and media as such. 

The BCS becoming the 'official' way of crowning the champion took a big shine off the other bowls. 

And now the CFP being even more organized and 'official' has made it even more so. 

The national champion was always a big deal in college football but as the system for crowning the national champion has grown in prominence and being more organized and official, it has taken on a priority and attention that it didn't quite have before. 

National championship or bust is fine for about 10-15 in any given year and maybe a realistic gola for maybe 25-30 teams, but the remaining 100'ish teams are essentially viewed as the Washington Generals at this point and it wasn't really that way before.

Im only 30 and I think it has to be a younger generation thing too. When you only focus on 4 teams you lose the pageantry of what college football is supposed to be. There are more important parts of college football than who wins the title. Turn on an 11am big 10 game every now and then and just watch the entire game
