If we win it?s a great momentum builder for the team and program. There is a big difference having the chance to win against a G5 team on the road. I guess if the SEC just went to 9 games we wouldn?t have to worry about this which is what should happen
Even though bowl games don't mean what they used to, the extra practices still matter. We don't need to play 10 P5 teams. And if fans want 7 home games (which judging by attendance, they may not really care), we really need 2 for 1 games with G5 schools. And even if fans would be happy having 6 home games to instead of 7 some years, unless they pay the same amount for 6 games, we probably need the revenue from that 7th game, even if it's just 35k fans in the stands.
