The Florida Gators (7-5 overall and 4-4 in SEC play) actually were awarded a bowl bid with a hefty financial payout ($3,100,000) based on past performance.
No other explanation of why Florida is in the Outback Bowl really makes any sense.
Florida will be playing in Tampa against Penn State while South Carolina will face Florida State in the Chick-fil-A Bowl (awarded to the SEC’s No. 5 finisher) and Mississippi State (who beat Florida straight up and finished a game ahead overall) will play Michigan in the Gator Bowl (meant for the SEC’s No. 6 team).
Who cares that Florida was “less than Florida” this year. We all know they’ll rebound, and it just seems more like a big game with them than without them.
Pitt in the BBVA Compass Bowl
Who Should be Playing: Kentucky vs. Syracuse (SEC No. 8 vs. Big East No. 5)
Syracuse finished 2010 with at a better than expected 7-5 mark overall and went 4-3 in Big East play. Regardless of how good this was it still puts the Orange a step below Pitt who finished (disappointingly) 7-5 overall and 5-2 in conference.
Regardless, Pitt has been shuffled southwards to the BBVA Compass Bowl (meant for the No. 5 Big East team) while the Orange will participate in the first-ever Pinstripe Bowl (hey, that’s played in New York isn’t it?) that is supposed to be awarded to the Big East’s No. 4 finisher.
