The game mattered in the sense that in the likelihood that they lose to Georgia, winning out as a one loss SEC team puts them in a better bowl game with more visibility. I don't have any illusions of them beating Georgia or winning the conference title.
The 2007 and 2013 teams lost out on BCS bowls because of those regular season losses. Had they simply lost the CCG in both years, they wouldn't get the title shot, but they would have played in the Orange and Sugar Bowl respectively. When a program hasn't done that since the first year of Nixon, that's a big accomplishment.
