Prob 4-8

 

[scarletbergen]

RU is projected to have the 7th hardest schedule in the nation!

 

[Kbee3]

I know quite a few guys who are college football fans, but not Rutgers fans. When I tell them about the highlights of RU's 2023 schedule......at Michigan, at Wisconsin, vs. Ohio State, at Iowa, at Pedd State...they generally have one word to describe it...suicide.

 

[RUScrew85]

RU is projected to have the 7th hardest schedule in the nation!

Yikes.

 

[SBP]

Optimistic: 6-6
Realistic: 5-7
If Offense shits the bed: 3 or 4 wins.

 

[BigLou]

5-7

 

[colbert17]

RU is projected to have the 7th hardest schedule in the nation!

3 teams in the top 10
5 teams in the top 25
6 teams in the top 35

When half your schedule are top 35 teams getting to six wins would be hard for anyone.
