The Troll Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Florida State should have never been ranked in the first place. Same thing every year with them. Over-rated because of their past. They are the New York Giants of college football. That offense is just painful to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gainzo Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Good for Boston College. They still got shafted in the AP poll. All BC did was beat the defending ACC Champs by 10 points. Oh well, they should crush NC State this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Good job by the voters in leaving Michigan out of the top 25 completely. While 124 refuses to believe it, this loss by the Wolverines was not "just another loss". This was reflected in the fact that Michigan fell from 5th to 27th and COMPLETELY out of the running for a BCS title. Not only was this a loss of an unprecedented magnitude, but just about everyone else in the polls took care of business in week 1. Thus, even teams like Rutgers and TCU were bumped up a spot or 2 because of Michigan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 HAHA 124, whose wagon you on now son? When have I ever been labeling myself as a fan of another team on here except for Michigan? Sorry, I'm not a Rutgers "fan". I'm no bandwagon. There are about only 2 or 3 people between JN and JI that have actually liked Rutgers all along. We'll see once Rice is gone buddy, we shall see! As for Michigan being out of the Top 25, deservedly so. They lost to a Division 1-AA team, no matter how great that team was. But, hey, at least they didn't lose to Buffalo like some program used to do. At least they get Notre Dame next week. That will be an easy win. P.S. 27 Michigan 28 Convicts I love it.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I was in attendance back in 2002 for arguably the turning point in Rutgers football: The Miami-Rutgers game. I saw that Rutgers team, some 40 pt underdogs to the # 2 Miami team at the time, actually build a 9 pt lead in the 2nd half and hold onto that lead until the 4th quarter, when Willis McGahee and an all-too-talented Miami defense (with a now-familiar face, Jonathan Vilma) finally forced the Scarlet Knights to succumb. Neverthless, that day proved that Coach Greg Schiano was the man to lead Rutgers out of the basement of D-1 college football. When Ray Rice leaves, someone else will step in. Rutgers has improved itself to the point that they do not need to rely on one specific player to have success. They have reached a higher level of respectability on the recruiting trail than they've ever had before, by far. Don't expect Rutgers to disappear anytime soon.

I'm happy for RU fans that they have something to cheer about other than losing that game 42-17. It may have been a spark of hope, but i really dont think it was a turning point. Miami was in the early stages of being cokerized, and that game illustrated how unmotivated and uninspired the team was under Llllllarry Clappy. In fact RU went on to lose its last three games of the season after that, including a loss to Temple the following week. Also in fact, other than Navy, Rutgers had not beaten a team with a winning record from 2000 until last season, which is truly pathetic. But last season, they beat Ohio (weak, but had a winning record), USF, Navy (again) K State in the bowl game, and of course, L'ville, which was the biggest turning point for the program ever. The real turning point came not with a 25 point loss to a complacent team, but in a win on national TV against a very motivated and talented team. It wasnt until then that anyone took RU seriously. But I am glad for my New Jersey Jet fan brothers that Rutgers is doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am glad for my New Jersey Jet fan brothers that Rutgers is doing well. I respectfully disagree. While I concede that immediate results did not FOLLOW that game against Miami (and even the SCORE of the game didn't reflect what was seen that day), the signs were there that Rutgers was CAPABLE of great things. I don't care how complacent or poorly coached that Miami team was, they were the most talented team in college football that season, bar none. Rutgers hung with them for 3 quarters, and it gave the fans a lift that they had never experienced before. The Louisville game was the CULMINATION of all the hard work that the RU coaching staff had put in over the years. The talent had been there 2 years previously, only then did the RESULTS finally come. Louisville was the most important win in Rutgers football history, and finally put the team in the spotlight. But the TURNING point for the team was years earlier than that, with players that weren't even around to face Louisville. I don't think you can disagree that TURNING POINTS for a program sometimes can occur in the most unlikely ways. In order to GET to the point where you are at a peak, you need to go through the valleys. THAT is when you learn what your program is made of.

In order to GET to the point where you are at a peak, you need to go through the valleys. THAT is when you learn what your program is made of. I definitely agree with you that the Miami game was an important day for the FANS, as you just mentioned. But the program didnt come out of the doldrums until a couple of years after that. And they didnt win more than one game against teams with winning records until last year, so for me the proof is in the results. They were still considered a doormat by most. I'd also say the wins against Syracuse at the end of 2003, and beating MSU in 2004 were bigger turning points. But the program (not the fans) didnt get back on the national footabll map until the L'Ville game, so I'd still put that as a major turning point for them. Kinda like App. State, who has done some very good things, but wasnt really on the national map until they knocked off Meatchicken. I remember after Miami came off probation in 1998, comin off a 5-6 record in 97, and they beat a 10-0 UCLA team 49-45. That game was when we knew we'd be back. IMO it takes winning to make your mark. BTW this is a great site for all college game scores for all teams for the last thfged years. http://www.jhowell.net/cf/scores/Rutgers.htm#2002 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
