The SEC teams have generally played games with friends, family and some fans in the stands.   That same situation will occur for the bowl game too.   So from the SEC view this is not that different than a normal year.  In most years a 5-7 team takes that bowl invite to get a few more weeks of practice, so not shocking to me that a 2-8 type team would find a few more weeks of practice valuable too.

except this year a lot of the teams will get less extra practice than in a normal year given the first bowl games are today and the last non-NY6 games are 02 Jan
