I think the UofM/OSU game will always feel important to those fanbases, but what made it extra special this year that you knew the loser would not only be out of the Big Ten Championship game, but, also, out of the CFP. The expended playoff would less the importance of it.
I, also, think it's rare to have more than 1 to 3 teams each year that can realistically win it.

It's difficult to make the "every game matters" argument when college football now has more meaningless games, by percentage, than probably any other sport and the creation of the playoff is largely at fault. Now it's the playoffs or no one really cares, which means 99% of college football games don't mean a damn thing.
