Amazing right now is that they are sitting at 4-2, just beat Boston College in OT, and with a favorable schedule ahead, should be playing in a bowl game of some sort. And after losing Larry Fitzgerald and Rod Rutherford, and everybody thinking that they would stink (which they still sort of do), that's doing pretty good. And there's also talk of firing the coach, though for goodness sakes, if he gets to a bowl this year after losing two top prospects like that, he's doing well.

Still have VT and WVU coming up though. Right?

WVU, yes, but not VT. They have Rutgers, Syracuse, Notre Dame, and South Florida coming up besides West Virginia. They are at home for Rutgers and WVU though. So they should be able to win all of those but Notre Dame and WVU, and a 7-4 season, even in the Big Easy, gets a bowl bid.

That is surprisingly easy. But remember this team also lost to UConn.

I'm just looking forward to basketball. Krauser. Taft. Enough said.

Rutgers will certainly not be a pushover. the Scarlet Knights handed Michigan State a loss and the Spartans are 3 - 1 in the Big preTend.

Rutgers is decent this year with all the Juco's.

South Florida is pretty good and was favored before the hurricane postponed the game.

I have them pegged at 6 or less wins for the year....not including a possible bowl.

Did anyone see where a few Rutgers players were hurt in a car wreck or something? I could've swore I saw it on ESPN this morning.
