VT still throws me off. Their QB did get better as the season went on but even when he was playing well- did they really beat anyone with a pulse?
We shall find out. Their first 3 games are against Vanderbilt, Marshall and Old Dominion. May not know that much from those three games, but neither will we know much about Rutgers, unless VT or Rutgers has a difficult time with one of their early opponents.
Completely agree. I covered that in my response in this thread:
VTech looks at us (page 2)
I really think the schedule sets up to give us a good chance to beat them as I covered in this thread for 1.5 months ago: Setting up for the Virginia Tech (VT) game
Was glancing at a Big Ten Podcast this morning, can't find the link, but they made a similar comment about not understanding all the hype about VT. We shall see. Tough environment.
Absolutely. That will be a major obstacle to overcome.
Legit chance to finish in the top 15 or 20 with some solid quarterback play
Based purely on this ranking list, Rutgers gets 7 wins, ie 7 teams we play have a lower ranking than us. But we all know about these pre season ranking lists. They aren't all that accurate.
Just a rough rule of thumb-usually the rankings below the top 10-15, in the 16 to 60 or 70 range are difficult to predict.
41 is a positive number.
We have to prove we can move the ball in crunch time in close games.,,,and stop a team that’s multi-dimensional.
I’ll put GS up against anyone to shut one phase down, shutting both run and pass down has been an issue.
PS.
Tight, close games, I’m figuring the opponent to be of quality.

Preseason polls always have a certain amount of reversion to historical mean.
Where did you learn the term reversion ? Seems like an uncommon synonym of regression.
