Meaningless Games

I was reading the comments of an article the other day and saw where someone commented about Alabama losing to Texas A&M last year as a meaningless game because they won the national championship. It got me to thinking about meaningless games in college football and what constitutes that. Looking at the whole picture, I don't think there are meaningless games because there is no playoff system. There are 125 teams across several leagues and only one of those can win the national championship. The discrepancy between those teams make it that way as well. At least in the NFL, all teams are equal when it comes to rules and player acquisition. So, no there are no meaningless games. Bowl games are not meaningless. They are a way to reward teams. Discussing how many is another topic. Think about if our teams didn't get to go to a bowl last year with those great seasons. The only teams that got to do anything were the top two teams for the national championship. A championship they were voted into, subjective to the whims of those voters. Suspense is over.
