Do you think teams like Utah and Boise St would be able to recruit as well as they do if they were getting stomped every year in playoff games against the big guys?
Yes, I do.

Are you telling me they get players they normally wouldn't get because of some meaningless bowl game?

Recruiting, at least for the top players which is who I assume you are referring to, is all about playing time and development. These kids want to get to the NFL, not the Outback Bowl.
