I just went and checked: we have never played USC or UCLA. I thought we had played at least one of them, but they're not listed in the official results provided by Rutgers:

All-Time Results

I originally thought we hadn't played Washington, but we played them in 2016 & 2017 during the Chris Ash Error.

*The April 10, 1915 Daily Home News reported, “…Hamilton Fish’s All-American team… which plays several games every football season, is composed of former football stars of Yale, Harvard and Princeton.”

He was also the grandson of Ulysses S. Grant's Secretary of State and he lived to 103... only passing away in 1991.

I’d like to pretend the Washington games never happened.
 
We had a home & home scheduled with UCLA in 2010s during the Ash era, but it got cancelled.

Yeah, that series was actually scheduled under Schiano back in 2009 for 2016/17, then in 2014 got pushed back to 2020/21, then got cancelled in 2018.
