You posted the rules yourself. ARMS, ARMS, he threw his arms out as if to say look at me.

(a) Pointing the finger(s), hand(s), arm(s) or ball at an opponent, or imitating the slashing of the throat.
I know commas are confusing, but really... He has to be pointing his arms at an opponent. He clearly did the opposite, basically throwing his arms out presenting himself as an inviting, defenseless target that the defender sadly couldn't reach. That may be taunting, but not by the rules, at least not without an unhealthy amount of referee interpretation.

Interestingly, the SEC referred to Section (b) in it's statement about the call. That one requires the taunting to be verbal. Seriously? Were any of the Florida players even close enough to Wing to interpret anything he said while the play was live? Doubt it. More amusingly, this is the penalty TM7 should be called for just about every play.
I would note that Wing possibly could have been called for the penalty under section (h) "Going into the stands to interact with spectators, or bowing at the waist after a good play" since his run terminated in the loving embrace of the student section. All depends on how "going into" is defined.
