I posted this over on the Scout premium forum, but hopefully this helps to end the debate:
 
I had to check again for myself, but Schiano's career record at Rutgers was 68-67. His Big East Conference record was 28-48. That means that FORTY of his wins or roughtly 60% came against non-conference opponents.

And Here are his 40 OOC wins (I've bolded BCS conference opponents and italicized FCS opponents):

Buffalo (4)
Navy (6)
Army (7)
[B]Mich. St.[/B]
Kent. St.
[B]Vanderbilt[/B]
[I]Villanova[/I]
[B]North Carolina
Illinois[/B]
Ohio (2)
[I]Howard (2)[/I]
[B]Kansas St.[/B]
[I]Norfolk St. (2)[/I]
Ball St.
[I]Morgan St.[/I]
[B]NC St.[/B]
Florida Intl. (2)
[B]Maryland[/B]
[I]Texas Southern[/I]
UCF
[I]NC Central[/I]
[B]Iowa St.

It's actually unbelievable when you look at the numbers. 15 wins against FCS opponents and Army, which is basically an FCS team. 14 wins against Navy and MAC opponents. He's a guy with a .500 record with 43% of his wins coming against FCS, MAC, or service academy opponents. And that is the smoke and mirrors that is Rutgers.

And not a single victory during his entire tenure over a traditional power college team - the Texas, USC, Miami, FSU, Ohio St, Notre Dame's of the world. Then again, you have to schedule them to have an opportunity to beat them.:noidea:[/B]
