Best bowl game in program history for Rutgers?

Since Rutgers got into this thing late, how prepared will they be?  Their season was over with the Maryland loss way back in November then all of a sudden they got into the Gator Bowl a week ago.  

I see Wake as definitely beatable.  Their gaudy 10-3 record is largely a product of playing a weak OOC (2xFCS, Army, UNC in a non-league game) and a pretty weak ACC.  It also helped that their two cross-overs were UVA (6-6/4-4) and Dook (3-9/0-8) so they missed Pitt and Miami until the ACCCG where they got clobbered by Pitt.  

Wake's results sorted by opponent final record (with FCS listed last):
