College Football Countdown: No. 101 Rutgers
Sure these things are somewhere from ill informed to entirely speculative, nearly meaningless, but at least it is actual football conversation.

"The spread offense he's installed at Rutgers could help the Scarlet Knights rise from a middle of the road Big Ten program offensively to an elite program."

Who thought any sports writer would be using the words "Rutgers" and "elite" in the same context?

I think the #101 is dead wrong, but the rest of it isn't that bad (though it might have been nice if he knew why Rettig started the first game).

Anyway: Top returnees: "Chris Laviano" Let the fun begin, the popcorn will be ready in a minute.

The ranking probably means we win more than 3 games.

Where are those posters who said we won't be ranked in the preseason poll now?

All I know is that Rettig was "quickly replaced" as the starting QB. I guess he didn't look good that first game. Terrible reporting, there.

At least it's football talk and not Heaven selling RU bedpans..

If this isn't the first year the newspaper has done their countdown, how accurate was their Rutgers prediction last year?

He does think the future should be brighter. So that was good to read.

 

[WhiteBus]

Great read, however if he is that positive why is Rutgers 101?

We finished #98 in the year end 2015 Sagarin ratings. Maybe that is where the #101 comes from. Basically means no meaningful change in terms of game results (4-8).

Isn't there a group on campus called "Rutgers 101" that hate football and are for academics! Lol

Seriously ?
Only ranked above the weakest CFB teams .... and those being in the non Power 5 Conferences does not bode well. These clowns are clueless. We will show them.

Florida's high school graduation rate is barely above 50% and their SAT scores rival those of a third world country's equivalent. Their best journalists then are culled from a morass of knuckle draggers. No shock value here.
