The third time appears to be the charm for Rutgers <https://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/>.
The Scarlet Knights are expected to receive and accept an unexpected Gator Bowl invitation <https://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/2021/12/will-rutgers-receive-miraculous-gator-bowl-bid-after-texas-am-pulls-out-with-covid.html> after a COVID-19 <https://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/2021/12/nj.com/coronavirus> outbreak at Texas A&M knocked the Aggies out of the New Year’s Eve game against Wake Forest, several people with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media.
Rutgers plans to accept a bid when offered and it has the highest Academic Progress Rate score among all available 5-7 teams, according to the individuals. The NCAA’s football oversight committee will need to sign off on Rutgers’ candidacy and player safety matters in a Thursday meeting, but that is expected to be a formality.
