So wait...You are aware Ohio was the MAC champ last year, NOT Toldeo, right? How long will you ride that they "gave trouble" to a now clearly overrated OSU team? You do also know Navy and Army went to bowl games last year, right? Did URI or WF? It's debatable to many that NC may prove to be at least an equal to USC this year but I suppose I'll give you that one.
My point is how long will you ride this argument in a season when it's not true?
Hey buddy Miami(Oh) won the MAC last year. I know they play in Ohio but they aren't Ohio University. Rutgers schedules NOBODY in the non-conference.
Rutgers has played the following BCS teams in OOC.
2011-North Carolina
2010-North Carolina
2009-Maryland
2008-North Carolina
2007-Maryland
2006-North Carolina, Illinois
2005- Illinois
2004- Michigan State, Vanderbilt
2003- Michigan State
2002- Tennessee, Notre Dame
You guys HAVE PLAYED 2 BCS teams OOC 3 times in the last DECADE. Its a joke Rutgers fans crap on the Big East when you guys have done NOTHING TO BUILD THE PRESTIGE of the conference. Rutgers has never finished better than tied for 3rd. Schiano won't want to play tough non-conference games because he wants to pad his resume beating Army, and Navy every year. Its a joke the Big East lost Virginia Tech, Miami, and Boston College in 2004 and your schedules have gotten SOFTER and yet your fanbase doesn't realize your 3-9, 4-8 seasons are 7-5, 8-4 because you don't play anybody OOC and 2 of the top BE teams left the conference.
Syracuse BCS OOC opponents
2011- Wake Forest, USC
2010- Washington, Boston College
2009- Minnesota, Penn State, Northwestern
2008- Northwestern, Penn State, Notre Dame
2oo7- Washington, Iowa, Illinois
2006-Wake Forest, Iowa, Illinois
2005- Virginia, Florida State, Notre Dame
2004-Purdue, Virginia, Florida State
2003- North Carolina, Notre Dame
2002- North Carolina Auburn.
SU has NEVER played less than 2 BCS OOC games EACH year and have scheduled 3 BCS teams 5 times in the last DECADE. The reason your program has gone from dogs#it to mediocre is because you guys UNDER SCHEDULE. SU went into the toilet because our coaching was awful with Coach P and GRob and WE OVER-SCHEDULED. So when we go to the ACC look for us to continue playing good OOC schedules, and Schiano will water down your schedule even more and sell you guys on how much progress you have made, and don't make the you played Navy argument because I withheld the BYU, Central Florida, East Carolina, Louisville, and Cincinnati series we played when they weren't/aren't in BCS conferences.
