No joke. Rutgers is ranked.
The Scarlet Knights, long a college football laughingstock, moved into The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in 30 years on Sunday.
No. 23 Rutgers (4-0), led by tailback Ray Rice, the fourth-leading rusher in the nation, is off to its best start since 1980 after beating Howard 56-7 on Saturday.
"I'm not going to downplay it. It is significant considering where we started," Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said. "It shows we're making progress in the right direction."
The Scarlet Knights were one of three new teams at the bottom of the new media poll, which was mostly unchanged at the top.
Ohio State is still No. 1 with 59 of a possible 65 first-place votes. No. 2 Auburn, No. 3 Southern California and No. 4 West Virginia each received two first-place votes.
Auburn had 1,513 points and USC had 1,491. The Tigers lead over the Trojans grew nines points from last week.
No. 5 is Florida, followed by Michigan, Texas, Louisville, LSU and Georgia. The only change in the Top 10 was No. 9 LSU flip-flopping with No. 10 Georgia.

Welcome to Free Republic
P.S.: You're not going to like this but I am not a ND fan. I also think they are over-rated by the sports media. That argument is for a different day though ;)

that will be awfully hard for them to jump any of those teams.
They start too far down the rankings and their SoS won't bump them up enough.

Interesting. I wonder if the significant variances in those ratings (compared to the other major polls) has something to do with the fact that there is no human input in the former.
