Bored Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Posted November 10, 2006 This is going to be a penalty....or not. Rutgers is in the national picture. Really take a moment to let that sink in.
devo Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Hell of a game. Now anyone with any brains in their head needs to leave that stadium immediately.
Guest NYankees Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Rutgers deserves to play for the National Championship if they go undefeated.
2GOLD Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Rutgers has no shot in hell of getting into the title game. None. Zero.
Guest NYankees Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 If they go undefeated, that would be a win over West Virginia who has one loss and a defeat over an undefeated Louisville. They would deserve to play for the National Championship. End of Story.
Art Sandusky Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 But they haven't beaten West Virginia yet. Don't get ahead of yourselves.

They would deserve to play for the National Championship. End of Story. Lots of teams have deserved to play for the National Championship and didn't. Rutgers will not get past Florida, Texas, or Michigan. I'd say a two loss Texas or Michigan would have a better shot of getting into the title game than Rutgers. It's not fair, but it's the system College Football decided was best.
Bored Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Posted November 10, 2006 Louisville has possibly gone all the way from the BCS Title Game to the Texas Bowl with tonight's loss. Poor guys.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 It doesn't even have a cool name. Texas Bowl.
Art Sandusky Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 I call that "Kansas State syndrome."
razazteca Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 West Virginia would beat Rutgers thus taking the Big East out of the national title game since its top 3 teams would have one loss.
Guest NYankees Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 But they haven't beaten West Virginia yet. Don't get ahead of yourselves. I clearly stated IF they go undefeated.
Art Sandusky Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 But they haven't beaten West Virginia yet. Don't get ahead of yourselves. I clearly stated IF they go undefeated. You got MPD or something?
iggymcfly Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Tremendous game between Rutgers and Louisville there. Great to see the Scarlet Knights pull off the big upset on their home field. I think they're quite unlikely to beat WVU, but if they do, I agree that Rutgers should play for the national championship. That D-line was absolutely smothering against a UL O-line that's been one of the best in the country all year long. I'm not 100% convinced they couldn't hang with Ohio State or Michigan.
Guest Princess Leena Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 If Rutgers wins at WVU, they deserve to be playing in Glendale. The end. And I still think there's a slight chance they can... they'd only have to move up to #3 in the polls. Half the teams ahead of them are guaranteed to lose a game, so it is possible. And the BCS fun really kicks in now... it's going to be a huge mess with lots of fighting.
therealworldschampion Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Unfucking believable. If Rutgers plays for the national title, the world is truly going to end. Go RU.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 There's an Instant Classic for ya. That last drive was perfect. Textbook way to use the clock and handled everything right. That was some awesome stuff to watch.
Hawk 34 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 If Rutgers ends up playing a BCS game, much less the national title game (which is a huge stretch for the moment), would this surprass George Mason's improbable run eariler this year?
naiwf Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 If Rutgers ends up playing a BCS game, much less the national title game (which is a huge stretch for the moment), would this surprass George Mason's improbable run eariler this year? No. If Rutgers was playing in the OLD Big East, then yes it would be even more improbable than GMU in the Final 4. You could argue that they only has 2 beat two quality teams all year, and one was at home. It's still an amazing run nonetheless.
cabbageboy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Allow me to get the following out of the way: Rutgers can go fuck off and die. Jesus, I can't fucking believe U of L managed to blow yet another 17-18 point type lead in the 2nd half. From Miami in 2004, WVU last year, and now this....it just never ends. By the way, Rutgers will have a big letdown next week and lose at Cincy. And then to WVU to end the season. And U of L still makes the BCS.
Guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Rutgers is going to get fucking creamed by West Virginia.
cabbageboy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Hell yeah I'm bitter. This is now the 3rd year U of L has totally fucked up and will likely end up screwed out of the BCS. I mean if we'd just get squashed in these awful, season killing games that would be one thing. But each time we've been the better team and managed to piss it all away. Miami in 2004, WVU last year, and now this. I'm telling you, Cincy is playing really well right now. They're going to beat Rutgers. Cincy has certainly played a lot harder schedule, damn near beat U of L, and has maimed USF and Cuse of late. Sure, WVU will beat them down this week, but watch for that Cincy/Rutgers game.
Fökai Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 Cincy will not beat Rutgers. West Virginia, on the other hand, WILL beat Rutgers. I'm assuming the wave of momentum will carry them by Cincy, no matter how hard the Bearcats bring the game to them. But West Virginia, with an angry Slaton, will see this as their way of revenge and beat them at home. Obviously, that's just a prediction, but my instincts with the Big East picture haven't been wrong yet. I wonder how tonight's game affects the rankings. I guess Louisville will drop somewhere in between USC and West Virginia with this loss. Rutgers, on the other hand, will be moving up, but the problem is that quite a few teams above of them will likely leave the week with impressive wins. 1. Ohio State (65) 10-0 at Northwestern. 2. Michigan 10-0 at Indiana 3. Louisville 8-0 4. Texas 9-1 conference game at K-State 5. Auburn 9-1 SEC game at home against Georgia. 6. Florida 8-1 tough game at home against South Carolina. 7. USC 7-1 big game against #21 Oregon. 8. California 8-1 conference game at Arizona. 9. Notre Dame 8-1 at Air Force. 10. West Virginia 7-1 at home against Cincy. 11. Arkansas 8-1 SEC game at home against Vols. 12. LSU 7-2 SEC game at home against 'Bama. 13. Tennessee 7-2 could break top 10 with win. 14. Boise State 9-0 tries to stay perfect at San Jose State. 15. Rutgers 8-0
UseTheSledgehammerUh Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 It was November 9th. It was my birthday. I was at the Rutgers/Louisville game. I cheered for Rutgers. CHOP WOOD DIE CARDINALS G'Nite.
cabbageboy Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 And you can cheer next week for Rutgers as they lose to Cincy. At the very least Cincy will take them to the wire in that game, and I think they can pull it off. Yes, that is wishful thinking. Anyway, I dunno what will happen to U of L in the rankings at this point. It would be horribly unfair to drop out of the top 10 after losing by 3 to an unbeaten team. The million dollar question is this: What happens if U of L, Rutgers, and WVU all finish 11-1. I think it depends on what U of L goes down to this week. We can all agree if WVU simply beats Rutgers then Rutgers is toast and not in any discussion for BCS. But who goes to the BCS between U of L and WVU? U of L SHOULD still be ahead of WVU in the next BCS due to head to head win, so if we win out I'm not sure whether they could jump us.
Black Lushus Posted November 10, 2006 Report Posted November 10, 2006 wouldn't that be the case? Louisville has the win so they get the tiebreak.

U of L SHOULD still be ahead of WVU in the next BCS due to head to head win, so if we win out I'm not sure whether they could jump us. According to the Big East rules, if there's a three-way tie and each team went 1-1 against the other two, whichever team is ranked highest in the BCS at the end of the season is the champion.
