Perception wise their Brand takes a massive hit accepting a bid to a bowl you didn't earn at 5-7 against a G5 school. There's nothing to gain by accepting and playing that game?! If they got lucky and won then they was suppose to win! If they lost?! Not to mention the opt outs who won't risk injury playing a meaningless bowl against a G5 school. This season is Dead for them there's no reason to keep it on life support!This might be a dumb question, but what's the reasoning behind NOT accepting this bowl invite?
I don't know a single thing about GA Southern, but I would have to think even a garbage FSU team would beat them, right? (Maybe not lol)
But they're missing out on 2 or 3 extra weeks of valuable practice time, bowl money, tv exposure etc...
