Everyone made the same joke about what should be Wake Forest’s new Gator Bowl opponent

Since Texas A&M cannot play in the Gator Bowl against Wake Forest because of COVID-19 issues, the Demon Deacons are in search of a new opponent. They’re considering teams that have already played in a bowl game, as well as others that did not quality for a bowl but have a high APR score.

Rutgers reportedly declined, but Illinois and Vanderbilt were mentioned as options. However, college football fans on social media came to the same conclusion.

Here’s a sampling of some of the same answers:

Suggestion for TX A&M replacement in Gator Bowl:

Jacksonville Jaguars.#CollegeFootball

Why can’t the Jacksonville Jaguars play Wake Forest in the Gator Bowl? They wouldn’t have to even make a road trip?

BREAKING: The Jacksonville Jaguars have been selected to replace Texas A&M in the Gator Bowl. The Aggies were forced to bow out due to COVID-19 outbreak.

Wake Forest doesn’t have a team to play in the Gator Bowl. The Jacksonville Jaguars don’t have a coach and are in town. Sounds like a match.
