No joke here, Rutgers is ranked. What, Rutgers? Yes, Rutgers, the same team that Notre Dame schedules every year as an automatic win.
The Scarlet Knights, long a college football laughingstock, moved into The Associated Press Top 25 for the first time in 30 years.
No. 23 Rutgers (4-0), led by tailback Ray Rice, the fourth-leading rusher in the nation, is off to its best start since 1980 after beating Howard 56-7 on Saturday.
"I'm not going to downplay it. It is significant considering where we started," Rutgers coach Greg Schiano said. "It shows we're making progress in the right direction."
The Scarlet Knights were one of three new teams at the bottom of the new media poll, which was mostly unchanged at the top.
