Rutgers may come to Tampa Ranked

They are 30 and 31 in the Polls.  Pitts just behind them.

There is a very good chance of that! Which both good for USF and the Big East.

Great potential for 4 Big East teams in the top 25.  Quite a contrast from last year.

And here people thought I was crazy when I said that Rutgers could be in the Top 25 when they came here. They have one scary looking offense.

People will be jumping all over the BE if that happens...  Imagine, a half of the teams ranked...crazy!

Mag, do the students show up in force on a Friday night??

The last time I remember a friday night game was against TCU in 03.  If Rutgers comes in ranked then the student section should be decent.  You know how students are with ESPN games.  Besides, it's not like people can't go clubbin' or partying after the game, so I'm pretty confident we'll have a good student turnout...IF they're ranked and if we're doing good.  I know for sure I'll be there.

if its on ESPN (which this game is) then the students show up.  im more worried about the rest of the fans.

I'm not sure beating Ohio and Howard is enough to move them up 5 or 6 slots and into the top 25.

Yeah it will.  They already have the hype, and media attention, plus its rutgers, people are dying to vote for them.  If they are 4-0 they will be in the top 25, regardless of who they beat.
