Best reason not to play in the Gator bowl: as Cal has a reputation for improving as the season progresses, we should hold out for a cancellation in the CFP!
Nice to think about, but Wake is a pretty good team that would probably wipe the floor with a Cal team that would not have time to get properly prepared and conditioned. Plus some of the guys who have already opted out of 2022 in a Bears uniform- Remigio, Tonges, Mettaur, Brooks, Teves - would likely say no thanks. I mean, once you say you're out, you're out. Could be an embarrassment if they play with a depleted roster. Who wants to watch another game like Arizona? If offered, Cal would probably be smart to say no thanks.
Tough to see the Cal machine being able to pull something like this off....this is not an Athletic Department or University that can think outside the box, which is needed in situations like this.
As a fan, it’d be nice to see our team get one more shot to display one of their good games to end this ambiguous season on a good note. It just seemed incomplete and unsatisfying to me.
Interesting. I wonder if Chase would be eligible ~ has he already declared? Would be great for the lads to get more practice time in, good for development.
Rumor: Cal Football could fill in to play Wake Forest in the Gator Bowl after Texas A&M withdraws

Avi just tweeted Cal's season is over.

So it's a Schrodinger's Bowl?
