Rutgers football is 5-5 as they head into the final two game of the regular season. It’s been an up and down campaign that has made this team feel unpredictable at times this fall. When diving a bit deeper, the key to this season is that the Scarlet Knights have been extremely reliable against opponents they were either better than or about even with on paper.
Four of the five losses this season have come against teams currently ranked in the Top 20 of both the AP and Coaches polls. Ohio State, Michigan and Michigan State are all ranked in the top 10, with Wisconsin just ascending into the Top 20.
