Just a few more numbers to put things in historical perspective:
 
(data from:  [url]http://www.cfbdatawarehouse.com/data/div_ia/bigeast/rutgers/opponents.php[/url] )
 
Rutgers most played rivals are:
 
Princeton **   17 wins  ***   53 losses  *** 1 tie  Rutgers real rivalry, ever since they split the NC, back in '69, that's 1869!  What's more is the Ivy Leaguers win!
Lehigh   ***   43 wins   ***  30 losses  *** 1 tie  'Nuff said
Lafayette **  41 ***      ***  30 ***      *** 1        Same as Lehigh
 
Some common opponents
Army    ****  20  ***    ***  18  Most of Rutgers wins are within the last two decades.  Rutgers win formula: Kick when they are down!
Navy    ** ** 12 ***      ***  11  ****     ***1  Meh
Syracuse **   30 ****    ***  11   ***    ***  1  Rutgers uses their approach to Army games to, (clears throat) to make up ground
Penn State  *   2  ***     ***  22     Way to go Knights!
Pitt   ***    **   8  ****  ***   21      See Penn State.
Miami  ***      0  **** ***    11   Gotta love Rutgers league efforts in the early years!
VATech ***    3  **** ****   11   See Miami.
WVA  *****   4   **** ****  33  **** ***     2  Another Miami/Penn State - esque historical performance
Temple   *** 19  ****  ****  15  Finally, Rutger "dominates" and FBS opponent!  (I use "dominates" rather generously, here)
Colgate  ***  27  **** ****   15   Hmmmmmmmmmm
UConn  ***  21  **** ****    10  Rutgers real FBS rival, because no team can replace Princeton as teh only true rival of Rutgers!
New York * 23  **** ****    18  **** ***    2  This series ended 60 years ago.
