The only teams I think could beat Rutgers 7/10 games are Purdue,Michigan State, and Wisconsin.

Everyone else is not happy to see Rutgers if they show up.

I think the team beats OSU.

Thanks Bac.

RU is a tough out but the 3-15 record is reality...its a challenge for teams but usually teams meet that challenge and win. RU is what its record says it is, I see alot of what ifs posted continually about they should have 2-3 more wins but that is not based in reality

Mentioning the w/l column means you cannot overlook how badly they were beaten or how close the games were. I know off the top of my head 6 or 7 were by ten points or less. I never say they should have 3 more wins.

I do look at the games though. And obviously view them at the rac.
 
As long as PSU wins I don't care how all the rest of the games go. Would love to see a lot of nail biters.

Hoping they make Miles walk home from D.C. To an empty office and parking tickets on his car for parking in NU's head coaches spot. Ha

If you give all 13 teams the choice of who they would want to play in the B1G it would be unanimous. The 3-15 team is heads and shoulders the easiest opponent.

We've had a lot of our fans make similar statements in the past about various coaches. But for the life of me, no matter how badly you want a coach to get fired, I could never understand how anyone could root against their own team.

Realistic is that Rutgers has never won back to back conference games since joining the B1G.

Well then, let's not let history repeat itself. I'm sure you know, those who don't learn from history are destined to repeat it.:)

The refs stole that Michigan State win from us, I tell ya!

How crazy awesome would this be!
 
Predicting 2 RU wins and then a loss in OT to Maryland after a bad call allows MD to tie it at the foul line in regulation.

Appreciate all the Maryland picks guy, but I just don't think it's gonna happen. There's a much better chance if Iowa or Indiana can knock off Wisconsin for us, but beating both them and Purdue is going to be really, really tough. I'll play along though!

Haha, I know I know. I abide by trends though, and Rutgers has yet to ever win back to back Big Ten games. I hope that I'm wrong! Would like to see you guys win one or two.
