Pick up a college football magazine on any newsstand and you'll be hard-pressed to find an optimistic view of the Rutgers football team prognosis.
Picked to finish in last place in the Big Ten East Division in every preview, the Scarlet Knights were pegged 75th nationally by CollegeFootballNews.com, 91st by Athlon's and 104th by Lindy's.
"Based off the record last year,'' Rutgers coach Chris Ash said, "I probably wouldn't be very kind, either.''
Still, the Scarlet Knights coach doesn't take much stock in what the college football previews are predicting for his team heading into his second campaign.
