I agree. With WVU leaving, UL and RU are going to be co-favorites to win the BE in 2012 (this assumes of course that Boise State does not join early). RU's chances of pulling this off and winning the conference would really be helped if they are able to trade an away game at WVU for a game at Yankee Stadium against Syracuse. This is their last real chance to play in and get humiliated in a BCS bowl game. Blocking Boise and playing the projected last place team twice is really important for Rutgers, which is why they want to force the BE to completely redo the schedule so they can play Boise at home if the Blue Potato Horses (or whatever they are called)  do indeed join the BE in 2012.
 
Their huge losses on the coaching staff are the other big problem to overcome. That one might be a more daunting one to deal with. Regardless, they should have the makings at least for a servicable offense and a good defense, and their special teams shouldn't completely collapse over the span of a single year.
