significance of rose bowl win has been minimized forever

All the other bowls? For sure. 

The Rose Bowl? No. It’s still the Grandaddy of them All.

All bowls including the rose bowl have been diminished forever, unless they double as one of the play-off bowls.

i think the introduction of the playoff was definitely the final blow, but the decline of importance/significance of bowls was the introduction of additional bowl games.

they used to be a privilege/acknowledgement of a "good season" by quality teams.

now you have teams like 6-6 tulane playing 7-6 louisiana lafayette in the who gives a damn bowl

This is a topic worthy of a new thread.

Moved Urban Meyer talk to the new thread. Please, on big news items like this, create a new thread. Tucking things like this away in a long thread are brutal for google juju.

Sorry for the inconvenience. The next course of action is just shutting down if google decides we're not worth indexing.

We can also go back to the early days of the huddle and lock threads after 50 replies. :)

Negs hurt.

Big 10 discussing revamping the conference championship to include the two top teams instead of East vs West so it's conceivable that OSU/Michigan could play in back-to-back weeks.

Terrible idea.

yup, not good---and highly doubt this will happen, unless they do away with the divisions all together

Very stupid. And would blow up in their faces the second that, say, OSU is perfect in conference play, Michigan has one loss to OSU and the West champ also has one loss, either to a West team or to OSU, but didn't play Michigan. Hell, I'm not even really counting this season, when that did happen, because Northwestern had three non-conference losses and the West was pretty much trash as a division, although I could see that situation getting ugly for the B1G too, as NW played good down the stretch and Michigan got blasted by OSU in one of those "Ugh, don't want that match-up again, this time in prime-time..." ways. More thinking of years when one of their teams (usually Wisky) is legit good.

Basically, all that would do would be to essentially end the two-division thing and have it be the top two teams in the standings, while ignoring details like unbalanced schedules (ie: the reason NW had the same 8-1 conference record as Michigan)

....and that would probably happen a lot.

Chase Winovich said any recruit who’s discouraged about coming to Michigan because of the Ohio State game should know it’s a mirage. “We’re building a powerhouse,” he said.
