I think a good bit of this "motivation" factor is before the game is played, game prep, watching film, practicing hard or easing off, etc.

Teams might be jazzed when the whistle blows, fine, but if they got a bit fat and didn't pay attention, they are likely to get smacked.  The opponent is probably better than all but 1 or 2 teams they played all year.

Devin Bush declares for NFL draft. Skipping the bowl game.
One of the solid points on stretching the season out.Sux but i can't blame any of them specially if they are projected 1st round.Which Bush will land no later than the early 2nd.What's he get if the same thing befalls him that happened to Jake Butt/Jalyn Smith?He gets an atta boy and shafted out of few million

Ya Bush should absolutely sit out. He’s 1st or 2nd round. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t. Playing makes no sense for him or Gary. Or even a guy like Winovich who is likely 1st or 2nd rd. 
Higdon skipping the game is kind of a head scratcher to me. He’s not a big time NFL prospect. The only thing he could do with a big game vs Florida would be to boost his draft stock. I’d be shocked if he was anything but a 5th or 6th rounder. MAYBE with a huge bowl game and really good performances in the senior bowl and combine he could jump up to the 4th, maybe 3rd round. Just doesn’t make sense to skip for a guy like him.

So the Peach Bowl is basically a scrimmage?  Mkay, got it.

I think from now on they are all gonna be scrimmages except for the playoff games and maybe the Rose Bowl. I know that there is a playoff game now, but the Rose Bowl is still the grand daddy of them all.

Keep telling yourself that.  The one game you hold near and dear just happens to be the exception.  Yaaaay!

Was actually listening to the argument that it's guys like Higdon with the most to lose.  Bush will get drafted either way, and the way rookie contracts are now, it matters less than it used to.  It's all about that second contract anyway.  But a guy like Higdon?  An injury now may be the difference between getting drafted and not.  That those guys need to be healthy and be 100% at the combine more than a Bush or Gary.

Michigan LB Bush had yet to be cleared by medical staff to play after his injury in the Ohio State game.  Bush was more irreplaceable, if any player truely is, than Gary and Higdon.  So, the game will be closer than if everyone was playing.  

I would guess that Michigan OT JBB will be back so that’ll be a big help.  Evans and Wilson are more than capable at RB.  Michigan’s offense should give Florida some grief and score enough points to win.

Florida    24
Michigan 31

Starting RT Juwann Bushell Beatty to sit out the bowl game.

I’m all for legit high NFL draft guys like Gary or Bush or Peppers sitting out. Protect yourself, get your money. 

But when guys that clearly aren’t legit NFL prospects like Higdon and Bushell Beatty are sitting out- it’s just getting ridiculous.

Was listening to a couple guys on ESPN say the exact opposite.  That guys like Bush and Gary will be fine.  Under this CBA you make your money on your second contract, and someone will draft them fairly high no matter what, and they'll get to prove themselves.  It's the borderline guys where the NFL may decide there are a million guys to take in the 6th round who likely won't pan out, so they'll at least take their chance on the guy who didn't miss the combine with an injury.

So without their 2? top defenders and their starting RB, Michigan and Florida are basically even.  Cool.  Glad this bowl illustrated it.
