if RU finishes 18-14 there are scenarios where they can be left out. Might be less than 35% but still enough scenarios
Got this from the Minnesota Board
- Thread starter cubuffsdoug
- Start date
yes I agree. Yes we can get in at 18-14....DO ANY OF YOU REALLY FEEL GOOD ON THAT DAY...DO YOU WANT TO HAVE A BIG PARTY AT THE RAC CELEBRATING OUR NAME AND THEN WHEN ITS NOT CALLED LOOKING LIKE THE WORLD HAS ENDED
beating Florida State does nothing for their resume except avoid a bad loss, all about Duke
1 is not 100% greater than zero. Division by 0 is undefined. How can you divide something by nothing?
Not sure how Michigan St, Iowa and Illinois would be locks but Rutgers isn’t considering Ru is ahead of all of them in NET
1. The NET may not be that important
2. What would RU’s net drop to losing to Minnesota, Northwestern and ??????
And to think, I got 760 on my math SAT. Shows you what those exams are worth 😆.

What would happen to all of the others team’s NET if they lose every game?
No, that was 700 plus too believe it or not. Pretty meaningless at the end of the day
According to Bac, they are all in, so it would not matter if they lose every game. All things being equal, if Mich st, Iowa, Illinois and us lose every game, we would likely have a better NET then those teams
Net has nothing to do with it
Ru has 3 q3 losses..these schools have clean profiles except for Iowa who has one ding and all have a major non conference win
Haha you fail to look at the quality wins. Iowa has no win over a top 25 program and Rutgers has 2.
Imfao..Iowa has 2 wins over Rutgers.
Iowa has 12 Q1/2 wins combined
Iowa has 8 wins vs teams in field..9 if you include Michigan

All quad wins are not created equal. There is a reason we are ahead of all those teams in NET. A win over Purdue at Purdue is the best win in conference
Except that Purdue win is not why we’re ahead of those other teams in the NET. We’re ahead of them because we beat all the sisters of poor by 25+.
The Purdue win has nothing to do with it? Really? Dumbest statement ever
Of the 72 bracket updates on bracketmatrix today, exactly 3 have Iowa seeded worse than Rutgers.
Just saying.
Sadly, name recognition still plays a significant role. Teams with history are giving the benefit of the doubt and credit when it deserves none.
Though nothing is a guarantee yet Rutgers over Minnesota will seal the deal. Like most I would like to se us win the next two for a no doubter entry.
The Purdue win is one data point. And yes, it’s a very good one. But huge margins of victory over lesser teams in many many games is a bigger factor in the NET than the single win @ Purdue. That’s how the NET works.
Their resume is much stronger than last year. They are playing for seeding at this point.
Ok. NET is the MOST important piece of data used now. We got in last year because the quality of our wins. Which nobody else on the bubble had. Guess what we have great quality wins this year too. And a good NET. We are in. No doubts.
Yup - this. We’ve done enough to get in at this point but a landmine still remains in Minny that could push us out.
And what was our NET last year? The reason we had to sweat it out is because it f our NET, last year. The reason we got in last year was because of the quality of our victories.
This year, we have both in our ur favor. We good.
No one is arguing we are not in today.
We are this close to being a lock.
But not yet a stone cold lock.
Still let's win at Minnesota and stop all this talk.
