[NU Sports] Win one for Rutgers

[Jeff Beamsley]

I'm actually pulling for the OSU/UoM rematch in the title game.

The first step of that scenario happened last night with Rutgers knocking
off Louisville in one of the better college games this year.  

I predict that Rutgers won't run the table.  They have a tough game against
Cincinnati next week (suffering the same potential letdown that faced
L'ville after their win against UWV), and even if they get by that, I don't
think that they will get past UWV.  That only leaves Boise State undefeated
and they are used to being shut out of big games because of their strength
of schedule.  

So who is going to have a stronger claim among the one loss teams to play in
the national title game than the loser of the OSU/UoM game, particularly if
it is a close game decided by a controversial play (which happens quite
frequently in this series)?

NU could make this even more interesting by beating OSU this weekend.
Because if NU beats OSU, and OSU beats Michigan and Rutgers wins out, don't
they deserve an invitation to the national championship dance?

I think Rutgers was ranked either #1 or #2 after the 1869 game vs Princeton

In all seriousness, congrats to them, what  a great game last night-It has
been a wonderful football season with the debate about whether  an
undefeated team from the Big East , (should that happen), have an
opportunity to go the BCS Championship game over the loser of OSU/Michican
(assuming no NU upset) or a
1 loss Cal,USC, Texas  or Florida team
