Great news, but expected.

Makes this game a big one. People who matter on these things are watching

Mighty Notre Dame squeaks out an OT win over Florida St. to stay at #7 but FSU gets ranked 35th Something of an inconsistency here.

RU about where they should be. Beat the 'Cuse and they should move up another 10 spots

Take a moment to take stock of how much improvement we have seen in a short time to be receiving votes at this point?

RU getting votes is a direct result of being in Big 10.

If RU had same recent history, same week 1 result, but we were in AAC we would not receive any votes.

One of many many reasons why the move to Big 10 was a good one

I'm sure that helped. GS's personal reputation and celebrity helped. He's an interesting story. The general momentum of the program helped. Lots of voters don't know much, but they know that every time they hear "Rutgers" lately it's for something positive. So they see that lopsided score vs. Temple and it all clicks in their heads.
