The Fiesta Bowl is one of the biggest bowl games there is. It's a New Years game, or part of the "Six". There is nothing "meaningless" about it, unless you consider every single game that is not the National Championship meaningless.
Describing an undefeated UCF team, who was ranked 7th and 8th in both polls, as simply a non power 5 conference team is incredibly insulting and IMHO ill-informed. That non power 5 team had won 25 games in a row. The previous year they went undefeated at 13-0 and beat #7 Aurburn in the Peach Bowl. (Translation - They were a legitimate top 10 team)
Your last sentence is pure bs. What the hell are you talking about? Since when do Power 5 schools hardly care about New Years bowl games? This is news to me. And "many seniors sit out"??? Um, no. Just no. Please give examples of teams who had multiple seniors sit out for these level of games.
I don't think you know the difference between the Fiesta Bowl and the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
