True but I think there is also a contingent of our fanbase that is obsessed with the SEC. Some of them would have rather faced a mediocre Kentucky or USCe team than a ranked WVU team. In any event, it worked out well for us.I remember we had a lot of fans poo pooing the WVU draw when our bowl game was initially announced. Meanwhile, beating a ranked WVU team convincingly in prime time probably contributed to the shift in momentum and perception of the program.
I think everyone just wanted the Gators. Beating a ranked Gator team would have been even better since we recruit against them. But the WVU win was big no doubt.

Whoa! I was disappointed by the matchup with WVU simply because it was WVU. I've seen that game played many times. That being said, it worked out for the best for us. Beating a ranked team that high for that bowl was good for the program.
