Schedule Update / Eight Plus One

[Tango Two]

At end of year, one plays one, two plays two, three plays three and so on as a plus one to get to nine games

 

[Tango Two]

Seven games on championship weekend

So who will be the 7th team on the west we get to play? I guess that’s the fight for #13!🕺🏼🥳

I’m guessing one of the crappy (like it’s state) Illinois teams

 

[rurichdog]

Northwestern or Nebraska would be my guess

 

[anon_ivydyf0amkzay]

Northwestern or Nebraska would be my guess

No way Nebraska is worse than Illinois

 

[rurichdog]

No way Nebraska is worse than Illinois

They were last year

 

[Salvi's Headband]

That +1 is probably our only chance of a win.

 

[RUevolution36]

That +1 is probably our only chance of a win.

upside is potential for 3 divisional wins, and depending on the crossovers, maybe one on that side. i think we're maxing at 4 win potential before the last game. floor is zero wins.

 

[RUnTeX]

Have they determined the 2 crossover opponents for everyone yet?

Quite the floor there!

I like this scheduling idea. Gives each team a cross-division bowl game type opportunity to end season on a high note.

The goals for Rutgers this year should be:
1. Win a league game.
2. Finish above 7th in East.
3. Show significant improvement on -304 total points scored in Big Ten play (2019's result)

You know one of the cross divisional games will be Wisconsin. Barry Alvarez is the head of the scheduling committee for return to play. He'll get good ole RU on his schedule for sure

 

[RUforlife]

I don't think we end up 7th in the division in the first place, I am predicting a 2 win regular season and a 6th seed playing Illinois or Nebraska.

 

[198hamilton]

West Point 4 wins? I'll have some of what you're having. I'll message you my address. LOL

 

[RU205]

1 win this year. Upset of OSU.

 

[sct1111]

The teams should be able to play an OOC game the week of the 17th. As long as that team is also tested within a day or two.

 

[Morrischiano]

Interesting wrinkle is that RU would play the team in the same standings position during the week of the conference championship.

 

[iReC89]

I think I like this, but lets see how it goes.

Forfeits could make things interesting depending on how they are factored into rankings

 

[knights1212]

I think this schedule is the best RU can hope for. Now how many wins can RU get?

 

[Knight Shift]

That +1 is probably our only chance of a win.

 

[RU#1fan]

That +1 is probably our only chance of a win.

wrong.
Indiana and Maryland are wins this year.

Whatever happens this season, Rutgers is back and Schiano is back.

Hard to predict wins without the full schedule. I hope Northwestern is on the slate for us.

Director of athletics Gary Barta said the Iowa schedule, as well as those for all Big Ten teams, remains a work in progress as conversations with the conference’s television partners continues.

Barta did say he expects the possibility of Big Ten teams being involved in more Friday night games and more primetime games than in past years when the league schedule is unveiled in upcoming days.

Ferentz: Hawkeyes are on the clock

Although the opponent remains unknown, Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz said Thursday he already feels like the countdown to kickoff has started.
