That’s just something teams that can’t make the playoff say to make them feel better about not winning their conference and getting a consolation prize.

He is right.

It wasn't since the playoff that it has meant less. It has been since the BCS.

There were plenty of rose bowls (in fact, most of them) pre-bcs that meant fuck all

If not for the playoffs Wiscy (ILTCTUWW) wouldn't even be in the shitty Rose Bowel, so of course it doesn't mean as much.
