Well, we all had Florida's 3rd-string TE scoring the first TD of the Gasparilla Bowl in the 3rd quarter, right?!?
This has been boring as hell.  Tulane's offense is hot garbage w/o their QB.  Lagway is hurt, but still playing.  

8 wins when Vegas set it at 4.5 before the year started is a good season.  Need to build on it next year.

400-something lb DT Desmond Watson is now in at FB.  Got a carry for a first down and is lead-blocking for Marco Rubio's walk-on son RB.

From the get-go Florida was the noticeably more talented, capable team. But Tulane's never-quit defense time and time again slowed up and frustrated Florida's offense enough to stay in it. By the time Tulane was still hanging around, down 9-0 with 4 minutes left in the Third, 6 of Florida's 9 drives had progressed past midfield, and ToP favored Florida 27 to 13 minutes. All before the Gators could finally break open the game with 24 more points.

It didn't help Florida that Lagway's mobility appears limited by that hamstring injury. Add to that Florida went a measly 6-16 on 3rd Down and couldn't finish first half drives inside the Red Zone.

Gators win the Gasparilla Bowl 33-8 to finish 8-5.

Pitt-Toledo it’s kind of odd and interesting today. Maybe I just find the Toledo program a bit fascinating, especially their penchant for underachieving

K-State vs Rutgers feels like it could be pretty one-sided, just because Kansas State feels some kind of competence, but also in a way where sometimes they just implode. I suppose if Rutgers plays hard, it could be more interesting.

Bowling Green against Arkansas State is just bland football content. Although it does sound like the Bowling Green tight end, who is one of the two best in the country in his position, will play.

Toledo has a strong history, so why haven't they moved up at all?  The school just not putting money into the sport?  Has OSU had any influence on limiting in-state competition?  Some sort of odd attachment to the MAC?

Toledo's history of success, being in a talented area/state, etc....it could very easily be a P4 program, no?

Move up... where? 

The B1G and the SEC obviously don't want them at all, and never would/have. You know that. 

The ACC doesn't either. They're stable enough as they are [currently] constructed. They jumped at the chance to have Cal and Stanford in the P12 implosion, but if they didn't want to pick up the dregs (WSU/OrSU), why would they want someone like Toledo?

The only other landing spot is the B12. But IMHO the addition of four P12 schools also stabilized them and taking someone like Toledo is just dilution. They also already have Cincinnati, and I'm sure they don't see the need to double down on the state of Ohio. 

Even if they wanted to move up, I don't see where they'd land.
