madmike1 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Oh, my bad. Team 117 of 117. The point is, aside from Louisville and West Virginia it's a cupcake schedule for Rutgers, a team who should have to face harder opponents. Cincy and USF are cupcakes? Cincy just DESTROYED the no 3 team in the pac 10 last year. And if you can call mich st a hard game (it might be for a terrible ND team this year) I can call Maryland a hard game.

124 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Is Cincy the team that you think can be in the Top 25? Lol! Since when did the Pac-10 aside from USC and Cal become a conference full of champions? Oregon has a nice offense, but no defense. Oregon State? Nothing to write home about.

Well considering that Oregon St got top 25 votes last week and Cincy blew them off the field, yes i would expect them to get votes and probably be ranked.

Scott Dierking Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 What Rutgers cupcake schedule guarantees is that it will be impossible for them to land a BCS spot, unless they win the Big East. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainzo Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 They are mediocre at best this year. And Buffalo is D1 too. Whats your point? I think 124's point is that Rutgers will not be taken seriously outside of New Jersey until they start putting real teams on their out of conference schedule. Opening the season with 5 straight home games against Buffalo, Navy, Norfolk State, Maryland & Cincinnati isn't exactly the hardest schedule in the world. That's 4 straight against crappy non-conference opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutgers is FAR from the only good team who doesn't play great NC opponents and they had no way of knowing when they scheduled this maryland game that they were gonna be bad.

You want a pat on the back for beating an overrated 0-2 Wake team or a garbage NC state team? Come on. Navy is probably better than NC State at this point. A navy team that by all rights should've beat BC last year and that rutgers blew off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every Big East team Cincy opened their schedule against a cream puff (SE Missouri State), hosted a crap team from the pacific northwest, and will play Miami of Ohio, Marshall and San Diego State in their next 3 games. I can't believe you think Cincy is a good football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cincy is a very good team and they will be a handful for anyone who plays them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
