If it’s a team from your conference you should hope they win in a bowl game. I want the B1G to go 9-0 but that just makes common sense.

NEVER SEC over B1G unless it somehow helps RU….Go Bucks!
Just can’t root for Ohio st , Penn state or Michigan. Heck I’m rooting against Maryland too. Should be a fun weekend rooting against the teams that trash us every chance they get. I don’t care about conference affiliation like I did in the old big East .

Guys... guys... guys.... There's "rooting" and then there's "wagering." If one must make a choice, say, in a pool, where's the harm in selecting the team you "think" will win vs the team you would prefer to win? BTW, I did select Rutgers over My-jami. I thought we'd win AND I wanted us to win.

After further consideration... I've opted to go with The Ohio State University, based on the strength of their defense. As for their offense, given their "next man up" roster is loaded with 5-star/4-star talent, they should be able to put up enough points to get the win.

That decided, as for the comments about wholeheartedly supporting our B1G brethren in bowls (and a general intolerance of all thangs SEC), tomorrow I'll find it very challenging to select (and root for) PSU over Mizzippi....

We, sir are on the same page. PS. Don’t watch the game tomorrow. Do something more constructive with your time.

Should be a great game. Missou is having a great season. Ohio State is well… Ohio State.
OSU in a close one.

I just can’t sorry. They all suck and piss on us every chance they get and don’t get me started on their fans. Can you really root for harbaugh and Franklin ?? Not betting any games just talking as a fan I can’t root for them but you go ahead.

Understood. But, again, the very narrow context here is a pool selection: which team do I believe stands the best chance of winning. That's the end game. I'll "root" for them in that context. One game. For the purpose of getting another "win" in the pool. And only that.

Why would I root for Michigan, OSU, or Penn State? Agree with other poster, I don’t even root for Maryland.
Do you love Rutgers, want the best for Rutgers, want the image of Rutgers to be positive outside of our collective, do you care that the conference is successful enough to command top dollar and billing, etc etc etc

If you can't see why rooting for your conference, and especially so vs the SEC, isn't in RU's best interest than I'd say your parents wasted their money on a college tuition

Mizzou bringing pressure to make sure the young QB can’t get comfortable

I've heard enough of the wise a$$ Mizzou coach where OSU is an easy decision for me.

Way too early - but he looks like he has a high ceiling. Higher than Kyle McCord.
I'm only commenting on his arm, not whether he can actually manage the position. Mizzou has a good aggressive D and he's got his first start.
