SB Nations Bill C's take on Rutgers
Rutgers improving
"A solid defense, paired with an offense that features Martin, Edwards, Bolin, Grant, Mitchell, and a decent line? That’s not a Big Ten East contender, but it’s not one of the worst teams in the country either. S&P+ projects Rutgers 92nd, and I’m thinking something more in the range of 80th.
With home games against EMU, Morgan State, Purdue, Maryland (well, it’s at Yankee Stadium), and Michigan State, plus a less than intimidating trip to Illinois, RU could easily rise to 4-8 or 5-7 this fall. That’s not amazing, and it’s not even where the Knights were as recently as 2014, but after 2016’s disaster, it would be progress."

Setting the bar high...
I think Rutgers has a pretty massive hole to dig out of and I'm not really confident that Chris Ash will have enough time to turn it around. This article is pretty optimistic about this 2017 chances. I think 4-8 would be success and 6-6 would have to put Ash in some CoY conversations.
