Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 699939, member: 636"] If you had said they "might" succeed I'd be with you, but to say they will definitely rise I'm not convinced. Since 2005, they have averaged 5.5 games a season against BCS opponents who finished the regular season .500 or above and their winning % against those teams has been 35.7%. Most BCS teams average between 6.5-8 games a season against such opponents. Also, Rutgers' single biggest victory came against Louisville back in 2006. They really haven't had a regular season game win that comes close to that since. They should have better than they have been considering the talent they were getting in a relatively weak Big East. They certainly have seen a tremendous rise in attendance from their Old Big East days but after the initial few seasons in the BiG, will that trend continue if they don't win? Again, only time will tell. Cheers, Neil [/QUOTE]
