I know that we almost beat MSU in 2015 when they were a top 10 team.

Who was the last ranked team that we beat? Was it USF back in 2006?

Interesting that we have played the fewest number of ranked teams than everyone else over that time.

Yes we've played UM, OSU and PSU.
But we also play a lot of non-ranked teams every year.

Our program insists on offenses that dont score easily, which makes upsetting superior programs extremely difficult.

LOL. A lot of the non-elite B1G teams have similar records.

I'm sure other programs in weaker conferences (in which there are many games against teams ranked, say, 20-25) will have a lot of fun with this. But they aren't playing an elite schedule like your team, with multiple TOP 10 and TOP 5 teams EVERY SEASON.

In my opinion, teams like Rutgers and Maryland should let stuff like this roll down their back...

The real issue, however, is that Rutgers picks styles of play, especially on offense, that don't let the team play over its head--which is exactly what it needs since it will never recruit as well as many competitors. As a result, not only does it not beat ranked teams it almost never beats any team ranked higher, even relatively mediocre ones. It's not a recipe for success.

Why 2010? Seems an arbitrary start point. 22 seasons? Why not 20? In 2009 we went 1-1 vs ranked teams.

What's worse is that this makes the whole Big Ten look bad other than Ohio State. Ahhh.. there you go... its an Ohio State brag.

Yeah I was surprised at that. Even Michigan doesn't have that great a record...

Tell the **** sticks to pay us our money for all the beatings. We still have to pay back loans till 2027 because of that asinine buy in.

No surprise about football and ranked teams … curious to see how many other P5 teams are winless.

This felt across the board in every sport at one time. At least multiple sports (more than half) seem to have Top 25 wins.

We may also have more shutouts since we joined in 2014 than the rest of the league combined.

Shhh!! Not allowed to utter even the slightest pushback to our entry deal!! All hail Delaney!!

Something about we were lost at sea and the Big Ten come flying in to save our woe begotten and poor little program.
It was pure charity taken upon us.

If you want to question fan support, and half filled stadiums, and low NIL contributions, and poor recruiting and etc. etc. etc... Look no further than the past 12 years.
