We need to play them to help our SOS to make our case for the...playoffs.

UGA losing to USF is not nearly as bad if they lost to Rutgers or Vandy...

And your point would be?   They HAVE to play conference games against Vandy.   They don't HAVE to play USF, they can play FIU instead.  

If you were Georgia, would you play USF out of conference, or FIU?  I'm playing FIU 10 out of 10 times in that scenario.  Why risk a loss to USF when it is much less likely you lose to FIU, and a win against USF does nothing to help your chances if you don't win the games you HAVE to win (in conference).  Nothing to gain, everything to lose.

But a win over a top 20 USF team does gain them more value than a win against FIU. It could be important if UGA is #5.

You really think that, after winning their SEC division and then winning the SEC championship game Georgia would be left out of the playoffs?  Maybe, if they lost to USF.   

 USF would not bring them money, exposure, nor are they ever going to be missing Strength of Schedule.   The risk of a loss far, far outweighs the very minimal gain from a victory.

Throw a gold U on top of the green roof and call it a day.

Good point.

Same problem.  If we went to Florida or Georgia or where ever, we could win even in their house.  They could schedule Tulane instead, or FAU.  Why schedule us when their stadium will be full either way?  Lots of upside for us, zero upside for them.  They don't need to beef up their SOS.

There's another whole discussion...☺

The problem is that the P5 teams that think they have a chance at a NC are the ones we really need to play

The argument could be made that we need to play them in order to grow the program in the direction we want.  Beating Illinois did nothing for us last year, and won't next year if we do. Beat Ohio State?  Beat Georgia?  That would be huge for our program.
