Is undefeated Utah one of the 50?
Utah wouldn't be in the top 100 right now. They are brutal. This was obvious after game 1. If you are referring to my thread I started at the beginning of the season, you may want to re-read it where I said if the Utes could get by UCLA they would have a chance to go undefeated. Getting manhandled in the opening week set the tone for the season just as an upset win would have done.

Rutgers deserves a lot of credit. They are a very well coached team with 2 of the best running backs in the nation. And they have passed every test so far. I think after tonight, the gift lines of the past two weeks will be going away.
They deserve credit for sure. But this BCS talk is ridiculous. When Pitt is the only team on your schedule through 7 games in a season, what is so impressive? How many Pac 10 or SEC teams would have lost a game to any of the teams on their schedule so far?
This team is playing well, but everyone is falling in love with them because they are undefeated and play good defense. A lot of defenses would look like world beaters against Howard, Ohio, Illinois, and North Carolina.
Louisville is highly overrated and struggling this season. They are not the offensive jugernaut they were the past few seasons. Rutgers should give them a game.
But if this is a BCS team, they should be able to give West Virginia a run for their money. I hope the line for that game stays low. That will be my biggest wager this season if it is.
