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.

Am no USC fan but I like to see them play. They are a very good team.
Between USC and ND, I'll take USC any day.

I also think they are over-rated by the sports media. After being out of the country for ten days I arrived back home yesterday and thanks to the glories of TeeVo, I watched the SC Vs. Arizona game (great defense by the Wild Cats!). I also went to bed knowing that Notre Dame was getting stomped by Michigan and that they could chalk up another loss this season.
This morning I looked at Sunday's sport's page.........
Oh, well, I enjoyed it while I could. Hats off for ND for what must have been a great 4th qtr!

That is a cheap shot and undesearving of a true ND fan, they usually have a bit more class then that.

Agreed, but I think it's too early to tell about the Auburn thing. Give us both our next big game ( neither team has one this week ) and I'll let you know.
All kidding aside, the Gamecocks will have to bring their best game ever just to try and stay in it where Auburn just has to continue on as they have been to win.

Pretty funny coming from someone who had Lou Holtz, one of the biggest bastards in college football, coaching his team. Under the Tarnished Dome anyone?Silly talk...

Auburn will take them, but it won't be easy. The Gamecocks will have a good home crowd. Figure maybe 27 - 21 from AU scoring 3 TDs and two field goals, and SC scrapping for 3 TDs (no field goals, not Spurrier's style.

I agree. I only want Auburn to lose if they lose the right ones and gets us to Atlanta in January in the SEC championship. But that aint happening lol.
