re: Myth: "The BCS/CFP ruined college football by making all other bowl games irrelevant."

I think most teams, even Alabama, begin their season with the goal of winning their conference. Outside of that, let the cards fall where they may.

And that's what the sport was about for many decades. Win your conference, win your bowl game, and the chips would fall where they fell. Less emphasis is being placed on that now. It's either national championship or bust and ESPN has been driving that narrative for a while now. It also doesn't help that the post-season has been diluted with 40+ bowl games.
