I'd much rather not make a bowl game than to get hammered 42-6

I guess not going to a Jan bowl doesn't matter either then.
We haven't been to a Jan bowl in 14 years.
Going to 1 matters.

Looking forward to the “Made January Bowl game” flag to fly above stadium.

The idea of "playoffs or bust" is just one of the many megastupid developments that have made college football unwatchable and unfollowable.

Again, all titles since 2005 Texas are merely paper. There isn't a shred of credibility to any of those alleged crowns.

Again, I’m not advocating the abolition of bowl games. Just the fact that the vast majority of them don’t “matter.”

The Bear games sometime have a chance to influence the playoffs: Eagle and Bill coming to town the next couple of weeks.

The Rose Bowl matters so much that tO$U did not want to go.

Making the playoffs and having a chance is what matters. But "second place is just first loser" per Dale Earnhardt.

If it matters, lol, I think I'll watch some UTSA and QB Frank Harris starting at 2 tomorrow on ESPN.
And North Dakota State goes up against Incarnate Word in an FCS semi-final tomorrow at 6 on ESPN2. Even tho the game matters, I may watch the 90th annual Hollywood Christmas Parade with MrsMn instead.   ;)

There are too many bowl games.

That being said, what does "doesn't matter" really mean? For a team like Illinois that has sucked for years, I would think this would be a sign of progress. Otherwise, we might as well be like Auburn and fire the coach every other year. Or we could aspire to be like LSU and win national titles and THEN fire the coach a couple of years later.

My other point centers upon how teams are picked for the alleged playoff. If anyone can explain the process in some objective fashion in less than 5,000 words, I would be surprised. First it was "CONFERENCE CHAMPS!" Then it morphed into who had played the "toughest" schedule, as long as we discounted the SEC teams and the handful of ACC teams who played FCS teams in November. This season, we had a coach claiming his team should be considered because his team had "looked good in its last 3 games." One of those games was against Austin Peay. Austin Peay!

Until there is some objectivity to scheduling and team selection, these "playoff" games don't mean a thing. They are more worthless than some of the bowl games. The two-game structure is the only thing separating some of the playoff games from a lower-tier Jan. 1 bowl game. Before that, we had a two-loss LSU team getting tossed into a final game because there "just wasn't anyone else."

Winning a bowl game is like winning the Las Vegas Invitational in basketball in November. Nice feather in your cap, but not a lot of importance attached to it.
