That's utter BS if you ask me.  I think the bowl game matters a lot.  4 reasons for me why...

1. Any game that will count towards our final record matters.  Call me nuts, but I'd like to stare back at a season with an 8-5 record versus 7-6.

2. One thing we have as a program that many don't (even some elite) is a really solid bowl record.  Since I went to Cuse and began watching our bowl games with crazy passion (dating back to the year after "the tie", we are 13-3.  That's really damn good).  I'd like that trend to continue - makes my beer drunkenness more enjoyable and the hangover the next morning worth it.

3. Beating another program from a power conference is always worth it.  Come on people, most of us over the age of 40 remember very well watching the 41-0 curb stomp that we delivered years ago.  That STILL feels good!

4.  Winning is just good.  It just builds positive momentum and adds to a culture of winning that a program needs to have.
