Dec 28 8:00pm NFL network - Rutgers (-7.5) vs. kansas state
I hope you have a dish or your cable operator gets NFLN. I really think this will be a close game. I know its up against the Holiday Bowl but if you can watch both games this will be one to keep an eye on. Obviously with my name I follow the big east closely and was there for the the bearcats beating rutgers on Nov 18. I wonder how rutgers recovers from their devestating loss to WVU in the last game of the season. Rutgers had a great year but I think they overacheived. I dont know how they take the letdown of a possible conference title and BCS bid to the Texas bowl. I think Kansas state sneaks in and if not wins makes this a close game throughout. KSU has been decent this year even though their record of 7-5 does not seem impressive. I will be rooting for rutgers as I want all big east schools to do well but this is the one big east bowl game i worry about the most. its nice to know schiano will be at rutgers, at least until paterno retires or dies whichever comes first, but I think the wild cats hang in there and could pull out the upset. I see this being decided by special teams and dont think rutgers will get a second chance like they did against louisville.
