They still don't believe in Rutgers and they really don't like their name, they are going to have to realize that Rutgers is good weather they want to believe it or not.

specific they're going to. Louisville has been plenty greater ranked then Rutger all 12 months and next week Rutgers is going to be sure why. in my view i'd like to work out Rutgers win regardless of the undeniable fact that it's going to be a important project. Louisville wins by potential of 10 or extra.

Because their name is Rutgers and nobody will give them any respect over programs that are known as "football" schools. The thing I find most amusing is this... Last week (before last rather) Louisville beats WVU, and last week Rutgers beats Louisville. Yet in the latest coaches poll WVU is ranked higher than EITHER of them. This is proof that the polls make little to no sense sometimes.

Maybe the USC schedule is better then Rutgers. At the same time, I think that the Pac-10 is a better conferance then the Big East.

For one thing strength of schedule. All of the conferences are not equal. Rutgers does not play the number of extremely strong teams that one would in the SEC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac 12.

I have no clue. I honestly think that Rutgers should be ranked better than 7, after defeating a top team like Louisville.

for starters the big east is a weaker conference than the pac-10. and rutgers out of conference schedule includes north carolina, ohio, howard (1-aa), and navy.
even though usc has loss they have faced a harder out of conference schedule: arkansas (sec-big time conference), nebraska, and notre dame. if they lose to the domers and rutgers beast wvu, then they'll jump over them
a playoff system would end all of this

Strength of schedule. They haven't beaten anyone that's any good except Louisville. If they were to beat Pitt and run the table, they might creep a bit higher, but I'm pretty sure it's not going to be enough quality wins for them.

Strength of schedule. I am not condoning it. I'm just giving you the reason the experts state.
