There are a ton of bowl games that have historical ties and traditional meaning that nobody cares about anymore. Do the bowl games matter less for those teams, or have we just been conditioned to believe that if you aren't one of the chosen few, where you play in the bowl season is simply irrelevant? I tend to think it's the latter. Going to certain bowl games should still be viewed as exciting opportunities.
Again, FSU and UGA are "butthurt" from missing the playoff, but under the BCS system, neither would've played for the title anyways. Their position in the Orange Bowl would've been a GREAT game. A great opportunity to make a statement to show that they were actually the best team, not Michigan or Washington.
