Not the first time I've heard this. A lot of folks really like the atmosphere at the Peach Bowl, and the payout is IIRC the highest among non-BCS bowls. Plus, that they match up SEC #5/6 with the ACC #2 ensures that it's usually a pretty decent and evenly matched game.

Plus it has a pretty captive NYE audience and no competitors, unlike the morning/early afternoon Florida bowls.

I think if you could guarantee Michigan, OSU, Penn State and Nebraska were populating those games every year, it wouldn't be as much of a problem. But when it is Wisconsin every year, or Northwestern, or MSU, or Iowa it just isn't very fun.
