Last year (2005)was the furtest they ever made it, to the elite 8. Louisville beat them with a score of 85-93 in overtime.\n\nHere is a website with an article and more details about the game. \n\nhttp://sports-att.espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=254000015

first of all "hollisterdude57" is the biggest loudmouth idiot in these answers!! Everytime I see him he's answering some way to say the asker sucks or is a loser. \n\nNext I'll answer this resonable question. Mostly I answer questions with what I think and know. And like someone else says, I like to sometimes prove my facts by getting even more percise info from some websites or teams home pages. So I'd say yes and no. *RZ*

Rutgers is a very good football team. If they finish undefeated meaning they beat WVU in Morgantown, they are a definite BCS bowl team.  They will likely be penalized for playing in a weak league.  I know the football "experts" have lately been getting on the "Big East Bandwagon" with both WVU and UofL being ranked as high as no. 3.  The problem with either of those teams and Rutgers also being ranked no.3 is their strength of schedule just doesn't come close to that of Big 10,SEC, Pac 10, or Big 12 schools.  I like the way Rutgers plays and I like their coach very much.  I'd be very surprised if he doesn't get an offer he can't refuse from Miami or another big school at the end of the year.  I hope Rutgers wins out and gets to a BCS bowl and wins there.  I do think they are the best of an otherwise overrated league.  I think if Rutgers wins out, they should be no better than no. 6, depending of course on how the teams above them do in the last few games of the year.  A very nice team though,very nice.

Uh, yeah that bulletin was pure bullcrap. Whoever posted it is just hating on The Game. Anyone can take a random picture and put a caption to it.\n\nAs for them respecting each other, I don't think they do. The Game just wants to get on with his career, he doesn't wanna beef with 50 anymore, but he still doesn't respect him.

No, they won't.  I doubt Rutgers will move into the top 5 either.  I will be rooting for the Scarlet, but I honestly don't think they will beat Louisville tonight.  One step at a time.  The real questions is if they do beat Louisville and WV, and stay undefeated, will they play the winner of OSU and Michigan for the title?\n\nGlad I was wrong on the outcome.  Now watch them get screwed in the BCS...

I think not.  Strength of schedule determines a great deal in the rankings.  Many are saying that the Big East isn't getting any respect and I tend to agree with that.  At any rate one of the "bigger" schools like Florida, Auburn, ND, schools with one loss will end up behind the winner of the OSU - Mich. game today.  Even if Rutgers runs the table I don't even think they will get a shot at the national championship.  Maybe a BCS bowl but that's about it.  Another reason why division 1A needs a playoff system.  Everyone else has them.

Nope.  It's just that the people who vote in the poles don't like the Big 10.  The two best teams in the nation are Big Ten teams and if the contest is close on Saturday, they will still be the two best teams in the nation and should have a rematch in the National Championship game.

I go to Rutgers, I was at the Louisville game, and I watched the meltdown last night. I'm disappointed and feeling slightly nauseous, but in retrospect, we didn't lose to a bad team, persay.  Of their five losses, four were against opponents ranked in the top 10 at the time of the game. Additonally, they handily defeated a team (USF) that we struggled to beat.  Granted, we should've won.  Teel was terrible (four interceptions), and at least three of Teel's other throws were bobbled by cincinnati. Our usually powerful defense did little to stop cinci's attack.  Inarguably, it was our worst performance of the year.  Louisville got the upset over WV, we got the upset over them, then Cincinnati got it over us. They played great, and deserve the win.  For this win to qualify as the biggest upset in Cincinnati's school history says a lot about where Rutgers is at, and where  we've come from.  National championship title hopes were slim before we got into this game, and I honestly believe that if we had made it there against Ohio State, we would've gotten slaughtered.  We'll probably end up ranked about 15th in next week's polls, we'll kill Syracuse next week, like Louisville and West Virginia did to their opponents after their losses.  If we can beat West Virginia, it should put us back in the top 10, and earn us a BCS bowl game, which would be tremendous.  If we can't beat them, we end up third in the Big East, and go to the Gator Bowl.  However it ends, it's been one hell of a ride, and I'm proud of my school.  If this loss thins the herd of all you fairweather fans, all of you bandwagon hoppers, that's one positive aspect to it.  Losing is nauseating, but fickle fans are worse.

I think it was only one player who waved the flag\nand he was  PANTSIL John (number 15)\nhe plays for Hapoel Tel-Aviv in Israel\nNow whether if he is Jewish or got paid to do it or he was thankfull for his team.\nWhatever the reason was I think it doesn't matter and frankly I don't even care.\nI think its better to separate politics from football

That's why they play the game!!  Every so often a team goes into a game as a heavy underdog and quickly finds themselves face down on the canvas.  Then and against all odds, they pick themselves up and play the game of their lives.  How many times have we seen this same story played out in the movies?  Last night it was for real!!  A great second half by the Rutgers defense was the difference.  Great job!!  Of course the BCS "experts" now have a new problem on their hands.  They never considered Rutgers as part of their bowl plans.  Ya gotta love it!!!

Well now that's intriguing!! I don't remember anything being posted on the Yahoo pages or blogs or any user screaming with excitement about their win...hhhmmmmm\nVery very good Question my friend. Email Jane Furrows, she will probably know or will be able to find out.\n\nKeep us posted.

OK the game against ND is an annual thing so can't really mention that one with it. Now you say about the others. Well guess what it depends on the other team did the prior year. Then you say how did they do THIS year. I don't remember Nebraska being a top 25 team last year. I don't really remember the rankings last year though as I am a Pitt fan and try to forget last year. Not really trying to remember this year either although things started out so well. Seriously though you could pick the worst team the prior year catch tehm in a strong year and it makes you look good. That isn't right. You should get credited as scheduling a WEAK team that is having a good year instead of bragging about having a good team scheduled.

Use the current ratings for 1 thru 8 and everyone can stop whining.  If you can't be rated that high then you obviously aren't being left out.  The current system may implode if a few scenarios play out.  Say Michigan loses to OSU and ND wins out, they may be ranked higher than Michigan with identical records and Michigan blew them out.  Now using that logic I don't mean that Oregon State deserves the National title game over USC but Michigan will have only lost to the number one team in the country so couldn't they still be number two?  If they had played the first week of the season they could end up that way but since they play late it's all about who loses last.  It's already happened to Louisville.  They beat WV two weeks ago, lost to Rutgers (an undefeated team) and are now below WV?!?  I am all for a playoff, if you can defeat three of the top 8 teams in the country in consecutive weeks, you are the best, period.

The reason for the huge leap (to #6 in the BCS standings) is because 4 top ten teams lost on Saturday... one of them, thanks to Rutgers' own efforts.\n\nAfter RU  beat Louisville on Thursday night, I envisioned them moving to maybe 10th or 11th (they'd been #15), but not much higher, unless some other top 10 teams lost...which they did...Texas, Auburn, Cal and #3 Louisville all lost....\n\nThe way the beat Louisville, coming back from a 25-7 deficit and completely shutting them out in the 2nd half (after giving up 56 points to them last season) impressed enough voters...RU ranked 7th or 8th in the writers and coaches polls this week, and moved up to 6th in the BCS rankings, announced this evening (Sunday).\n\nBut it's mostly because of the loses suffered by the other 3 top ten teams...had they all won, there probably wouldn't be room for Rutgers in the top 10...yet...\n\nbtw, fans of other teams can say whatever they want about who Rutgers plays, but the fact is that the conferences themselves came up with the BCS system... that means Florida had a hand in it, Auburn had a hand in it...all the teams in BCS conferences put this thing together... so those schools have no one but themselves to blame... \n\nThe Florida Gators' next game is against Western Carolina...big deal.\n\nOhio State played Bowling Green earlier.  Michigan played Central Michigan, and barely got by Ball State.\n\nAuburn played Washington State and Buffalo earlier this season.\n\nLSU played Fresno State and Louisiana-Lafayette....\n\nNobody plays top teams every week...every team schedules some cupcake games, you don't hear me complaining about their schedules...\n\nYou play who you play.\n\nSportswriters and fans can talk all they want about a playoff system, but the BCS is what the colleges themselves decided on.  So their complaints fall on deaf ears... Of course I know Rutgers isn't going to play for the national championship this year, but so what?   What difference does it make in anyone's life if their team finishes the season ranked 5th instead of 4th?  \n\nGet a life, people! The college championship has never been decided on the field, it's always determined by sportswriters... the BCS has actually been pretty good at giving us #1 vs. #2 matchups lately in the championship game....they sure got it right last year, with USC and Texas...
