other B10 wins are against those with worse records. Preseason wins were Sacred Hearts (9-8), Fairleigh Dickinson (9-15),Hofstra (12-9), and Syracuse (13-8 and their best OOC win) and all home games.
Someone (who is probably a Rutgers alum) somehow convinced people to vote them into top25 before the season started before they were ever tested. Once they hit the good teams in the B10 they lost almost all but one at home vs Ill. and a second at home vs Purdue.
