With texas, auburn, cal and louisville losing this week Rutgers is getting closer and closer to the BCS title game.

Florida will lose a game between now and the end of the season which will knock them out.

OSU and michigan loser will have suffered a loss too late in the season to recover.

USC will get beat by Notre Dame.

Arkansas probably has the best shot to remain at 1 loss, but i think Rutgers will edge them out in the polls.

Of course, rutgers will probably lose to rutgers making this moot, but at least Rutgers has a real shot.

Who else is riding this bandwagon?

I like Rutgers against Rutgers too...Just kidding. I'm assuming you're talking about WVU.

Not sure what I think of that game yet, but it should be a hell of a game. No doubt about that.

Barring a monumental blowout in the OSU MI game, there is no way Rutgers is going to pass either.

I dont think it is a fair, but that is fact.

I'm on the Rutgers train. Everybody said they'd get beat by Pitt and then Louisville, and won both...and now everybody saying the can't beat WV...why not? All they have done is prove everybody wrong so far. Go Rutgers.

As much as I'd like to see this Cinderella story continue, this ridiculousness ends next week.
Of course, it is virtually mathematically impossible for an undefeated Rutgers squad to pass OSU, Michigan, ND, Fla, Ark, USC, etc. with the schedule playing out the way it does.
Nonetheless, I tip my hat to the job Coach Schiano and the Scarlet Knights have done thus far.

They've got a chance.

If they beat WV they should be in the top 5. Being undefeated and in the top 5 may well swing some voters who say - you know you can't let a top 5 undefeated land 3rd or 4th.

The way I have the BCS after this weekend follows. I think Rutgers jumps up 2 or 3 spots over teams that won (LSU and Arkansas). They did beat #3 and are undefeated.

OSU, MI, FL, USC, ND, Rutgers, WV, Arkansas, LSU....


FL is gonna have serious schedule pts go down with West Carolina (Are they div 2) and FSU. As you know FSU is always tough in the in state game and has nothing else to play for this season. Then there is the SEC championship game. I give FL a 30% chance of winning out. If they do and Rutgers does too, does playing W. Carolina even the numbers?

USC and ND. Only one of these two can win out. USC also has to beat Cal. I give USC a 35% chance of winning out. ND a 40% chance. If either of these two teams win out, the powers that be will make sure they play and Rutgers does not. Rutgers fans need a Cal win over USC and USC over ND.

Rutgers. They will beat WV. WV's season ended 2 weeks ago plus they really have not been impressive against bad teams of late. Rutgers is going to shove it down WV's throat all night long.

And finally, OSU or Michigan has to win by at least 14.

If Rutgers beats WVU, how can they not get in the title game? The outrage would be huge(Especially if they lost their spot to a 1 loss west coast team(USC)).

These dilemmas usually work themselves out in the last few weeks of the season(yesterday was a real good example). Watch Rutgers lose at Cincy next week :missingte
