Bowls have been decreasing in meaning for some time now.


Started with the BCS.

But other factors contributed to it. Enlargement and consolidation of major conferences was a big reason why. When there were champs from the Big 8 to the Orange, Big Ten and Pac 10 to the Rose, SEC to the Sugar and SWC to the Cotton, with the ACC champ, Notre Dame and Eastern Independents (like Penn State) floating around...those bowls were great.
