Rutgers hardly worthy of bowl
On Saturday, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights (6-4, 3-3 Big East) will finish their regular season against Cincinnati. Rutgers is coming off a resounding 56-5 loss at Louisville. But for the Scarlet Knights, it's all good because they're bowl-eligible.
This is a joke to me. Sure, Rutgers has earned enough victories to qualify for a bowl. However, the Scarlet Knights haven't beaten anyone impressive. On top of that, they lost to Illinois, a team that was winless in Big Ten conference play. Two of Rutgers' three victories in the Big East have come at the expense of the league's doormats.
In the college football world, six victories are enough to make a team bowl-eligible. No one ever said those victories had to be high-quality.
