It would honestly be really cool to see Rutgers play in the Gator Bowl against Wake Forest. The Scarlet Knights haven’t been relevant in a long time, but Greg Schiano certainly has them trending up.
They’re a downtrodden program, but they’re slowly getting better. Taking A&M’s spot in the Gator Bowl would be a great step forward.

As a Big Ten man, I want as many B1G teams in bowls as possible. Is it unfortunate the Aggies had to drop out because of COVID-19?
Yes. Do I want a B1G team taking their spot? Without a doubt. Send in any B1G squad that wants it. If that’s Rutgers, good for them!
