"THE FIELD
Cincinnati, FAU, Indiana, Kent State, Liberty, Maryland, Memphis, Michigan State, Minnesota, North Florida, Northern Illinois, Penn State, Rutgers, South Florida, Toledo, UNC-Greensboro."

Sagarin Rankings have not been updated since Oct 5. At that time, the top teams in this field were #34 North Florida, #47 Indiana, #51 Cincinnati and #58 USF. Rutgers was ranked #72 and is the 9th highest ranked.

Rutgers will likely go with the long time regulars Xavier Marcoux, Rhett Sellers, Luke Wells, and Weston Jones. The 5th may come from either Martin Leon or Logan Paczewski.

Scoring is being handled by GolfGenius. I don't know anything about them other than they did the scoring for an early season Women's Team event.
