WATCH: How is Rutgers handling last-place Big Ten expectations?

CHICAGO -- If Sebastian Joseph went to a bookstore on the Rutgers campus and bought a college football preseason preview magazine, the Scarlet Knights' fifth-year senior defensive tackle won't admit it.

All those last-place Big Ten predictions -- like here ... and here ... and here -- are ignored inside the Hale Center, according to Joseph.

"I think the whole team just knows in general that at the end of the day it's about us,'' he told NJ Advance Media on Tuesday during the second day of the Big Ten Media Day event at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place.
