Every game for TCU is meaningless every season but in a play-off system would be important.
Michigan's game are meaningless but would matter under a play-off system.
The crap that only in this ######ed system do games matter is just that crap. Games would still be important under a play-off system and in many seasons, if not all, there would be a lot more important games and certainly teams with more to play for later on in the season rather than teams having their seasons end as early as the first game of the season and then just going through the motions for the rest of the year.

Last years BCS standings before the SEC championship:
1) Florida
2) Bama
3) Texas
4) TCU
5) Cincinnati
6) Boise
7) Oregon
8) Ohio State
Last year BCS standings after the SEC championship:

What this shows is that the SEC championship would have meant absolutely nothing last year if we had a playoff system. In fact you could argue that Florida would have benefitted more from losing that game as they would have faced TCU instead of Ohio State.
For Alabama every game is still huge because they almost surely get in over an undefeated team from a non-AQ conference. Every game for TCU is huge cause in order to have that 0.01% chance of making it in, they need to run the table. Michigan games are meaningless under either system. There's at least 3 BIG 10 teams that are better than them.
