Never understood why Rutgers has never become a northeast powerhouse.

With Pedo State falling apart, Rutgers should take advantage and become the biggest program in the northeast.

The main problem is that New Jersey is in the top ten in state recruits but alot of them don't stay at home. If half of them were to stay they could do some damage.

You can never rely on the state's best players to stay home. Hell, Oklahoma don't even keep the best Oklahoma players every year.

It's the program. These recruits are going all over the map with coaches showing them state of the art facilities, history, how they plan to use them, etc, etc, and then they go to their local school and they say "Well, at least we're close to home."

That shit only works with Parents. lol.

 

[bigev240]

The other problem is that the non-conference schedule has always been bad, this year they go down to Arkansas so we will see what happens.

 

[peagle05]

Wisconsin robbing the ACC of their QB's lol.

we cant do shit with them though..lol our defense slow as shit. thats the thing that kills us

Jersey always has talent

That's true. Rutgers only started got get good maybe the last 8 to 10 years so the history is not there yet. The factilities are getting there.

Yeah, you gotta travel for big games to get recruits. Recruits wanna be where they know they'll be seen.

 

[bigev240]

Before Schiano left, the got a nice foothold down in Florida. We will see if the new coach can keep that going.

 

[greenwood1921]

They should've tried harder to keep Schiano, or at least his staff. Prolly the best coach they've had in decades.

He about to get his forehead kicked in in the NFC South tho. lol

The new coach was on the staff with Schiano but everybody else has left.

Feel free to post a newer one...

I could of sworn they posted one after recruiting day

Think you meant this one bruh

1. USC Trojans Previous rank: 2 With nine starters back on offense and defense, including star quarterback Matt Barkley, the Trojans will have a legitimate chance at competing for a BCS national championship. They better do it this coming season, because the effects of NCAA sanctions and scholarship reductions will start being felt in 2013. Even with a smaller recruiting class, USC coach Lane Kiffin was able to add some much-needed help with linebacker Jabari Ruffin and receiver Nelson Agholor. The Trojans were one of the country's younger teams this past season, with 10 freshmen and sophomores starting. The Trojans will play six home games and six road games this season, including a Sept. 15 road trip to Stanford and a Nov. 3 home game against Oregon.

2. Alabama Crimson Tide Previous rank: 3 With so many defensive stars leaving for the NFL draft, the Crimson Tide of 2012 might look a lot like the last Alabama squad that tried to defend a BCS national championship. Quarterback AJ McCarron should be better in his second season as a starter, and Eddie Lacy is going to be a more than capable replacement for tailback Trent Richardson. But the defense is going to be exceptionally young, after linebackers Courtney Upshaw and Dont'a Hightower and cornerbacks Dre Kirkpatrick and DeQuan Menzie departed. Help is on the way after Alabama coach Nick Saban signed the country's No. 1 recruiting class. The Tide signed 13 prospects from the ESPNU 150, including top safety Landon Collins and receivers Eddie Williams and Chris Black.

3. LSU Tigers Previous rank: 1 Not much has gone right for the Tigers since their loss to Alabama. Receiver Rueben Randle, cornerback Mo Claiborne and defensive lineman Michael Brockers turned pro. Quarterback Gunner Kiel spurned the Tigers for Notre Dame, and LSU's recruiting class fell short of expectations. But it's still hard to imagine the Tigers slipping very far with so much talent coming back. Georgia transfer QB Zach Mettenberger better be pretty good, because LSU doesn't have much behind him. The Tigers will play eight home games, and they'll play at SEC West foes Texas A&M and Arkansas.

4. Oklahoma Sooners Previous rank: 5 The Sooners are going to be really explosive on offense again, especially with quarterback Landry Jones and receivers Kenny Stills and Jaz Reynolds coming back. There's no question OU will sorely miss record-setting receiver Ryan Broyles, but the Sooners signed a deep corps of receivers in their 2012 recruiting class, including Sterling Shepard, Durron Neal and Derrick Woods. Oklahoma's defense should be better after coach Bob Stoops hired his brother, former Arizona coach Mike Stoops, as his team's defensive coordinator. OU will have to replace defensive ends Frank Alexander and Ronnell Lewis and linebacker Travis Lewis.

5. Georgia Bulldogs Previous rank: 6 Georgia has to run the ball more effectively and learn how to finish games, but there might not be a more inviting schedule in 2012 than the one the Bulldogs will face. Georgia is expected to bring back 10 starters from a much-improved defense, including All-American linebacker Jarvis Jones and safety Bacarri Rambo. Incoming freshmen Josh Harvey-Clemons, Jonathan Taylor and John Atkins might provide some immediate help. Quarterback Aaron Murray and receiver Malcolm Mitchell are coming back, and UGA signed two highly regarded tailbacks -- Keith Marshall (already enrolled at UGA) and Todd Gurley -- to push sophomore Isaiah Crowell. Georgia doesn't play SEC West favorites Alabama, Arkansas and LSU during the regular season and plays four of its first five games at home.

I ain't doing the rest cause I don't give a fuck after uga

3 sec schools in the top 5...smh

Actually, I think I posted this one last month.

Actually makes more sense. USC is easily the best team on paper right now based on how teams are ranked in preseason (previous year record, returning stars/starters, etc.)

My own current ranking would be...

1. USC

2. Georgia

3. Oklahoma

4. LSU

5. Alabama

i didnt watch much of maryland last year so someone tell me if danny o'brien is worth a damn.

He's very average but he fits with what Wisconsin likes to do ...

 

[KeepOnPushing]

How much did Bama Lose on Defense? Barron & Kirkpatrick, Upshaw and who else??

that might have been too much
