No it's not meaningless but it's not an end all be all either.
Northern Ill for ex isn't considered to have had a better season or a better team than South Carolina b/c they were in the BCS and SC wasn't. Everyone w/ a brain firing on more than 1 synapse knows SC would have kicked the stuffing out of them.
It is just not an absolute qualifier of absolute success relative to another school that didn't play in one.
In the case of 2007 KU fans can boast the '07 OB it doesn't bother me or detract from our season.
MU played and beat KU. Our only losses were to the league champs whom KU didn't play. We also played in a bowl that is as historically prestigious as the OB sans the BCS moniker and steam rolled our opponent. It was a fantastic NYD.
We were better and proved it. That's what matters.
Now if we'd been bumped all the way down to the Alamo or Insight that'd be a different story but it wasn't. Both schools had tremendous seasons. MU fans bothered by that are just letting KU get under their skin unnecessarily in that circumstance.
