I'm not sure I would even characterize going from 12 to 13 after a loss as a "slip." Minor adjustment maybe

Jeff Goodman has us at Number 11–

No one can complain about lack of respect from the coaches by falling one spot. Some were saying we fall out of the top 25 for some reason... just bc we are Rutgers

I did say drop 2 spots. AP to 13 and Coaches 14 , came close 14 and 13. Which is what I thought losing to a ranked road team in a game you were dominating at half and in second half until refs changed the game and Jacob got hurt, would not have us go far. It is clear to most basketball minds that Rutgers is a really good basketball team and once we get everyone fully healthy watch out.

How does that even make sense that we move up and the team that beats us gets moved out?????

Because of the method we lost in the final minutes... you don’t believe we lose if the foul calls are legit...we got hosed B1G time by Bo... that was unfair.

I am not as familiar with BB rankings- does that really get figured in? You would never see a winning team drop and the losing team move up in football regardless of the reason for the final score

All I can tell is our game vs OSU got a great amount of pub for the way the game was called ... number of injured players out... number of key players fouled out and strangely after being up by about 16 points ... the other point is many sports guys reported it as well so you don’t believe it is all possible they also know we are legit top 20 team and if completely healthy perhaps even top 10.

I think Goodman even commented after the game that we got hosed big time. He saw us dominating until Bo worked his magic

Rutgers has a lot to prove. They stunk against OSU no matter how much people try to rationalize on this forum.
Rutgers is not a top 25 team after that performance against OSU.
You don't get a pass for having injuries. That is part of the game.
They are an excellent home team and a terrible away team.
So I am not going to be impressed until they can beat a ranked team on the road.
Right now, they are not better than last year.

Ohio State moved down because they lost on Saturday to Northwestern. I can't imagine that anyone didn't factor in the OSU loss because of officials. I know plenty of voters. Both AP and USA Today. They are not focused on how Rutgers lost. It was hardly a national story. As to the comment about last season,Rutgers is significantly better this season. Not even close in my opinion. Harper is a different player,as is Johnson. The depth is far greater.

Not an accurate statement about the depth. How can you say that when we might only be 5 strong tomorrow (Baker, Johnson, Harper, Mathis, Mulcahy)?

Yep- starting to get the idea...someone else called it out in mult football threads- here we have the ultimate troll. Pretty skilled at it too. Let's take a point that we know are going to piss off 90% of this board after they are so pissed off on how a particular game went. Go hard negative on every point with absolutely no flexibility. Wait for responses and then, rinse and repeat mult times.
