A source within the Gator Bowl Association which hosted the Bama – FSU game last weekend and leaked to LWS that they’re trying to set up another nice match-up for FSU in 2008. They offered WVU and Rutgers the opportunity (both had open vacancies that could have been worked out) but both refused to play FSU in 2008.
The Gator Bowl Association also offered three “big time” SEC programs (all SEC teams are considered “big time”) and all three also refused to play(not UF, FSU already plays). The three SEC programs have not been named, yet. They were also hoping to get Notre Dame but they have a legit conflict. Now, I’m not trying to knock the Big East because I don’t have anything against the conference or their teams personally. BUT, BUT…
I hear on this blog A LOT, and I mean A LOT from ***some*** fans of the major contenders in the BE that their OOC is weak because “no one wants to play us” despite the fact they try to get good OOC games. Well…
Two of the BE’s elite programs, Rutgers and WVU flat out refused to play FSU next year. Along with 3 SEC teams but we don’t know who they are, yet.
I find it odd WVU refused to play considering the fact that FSU is going to have a home-and-home scheduled with them in a few years.
