Rutgers expects to go 10-2
So I came across the wikipedia page for Rutgers' 2016 team, and apparently someone edited it to say that they win every reg season game (including Michigan) except Iowa and Ohio State, and they finish at No. 16 in the polls. Rutgers fans be confident, yo.
I screencap'd it here so y'all could see:
And here's the wikipedia page for as long as the edit stays as is:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Rutgers_Scarlet_Knights_football_team
Frankly, I think this is hilarious. Maybe it's not worth the board's time and I'm about to get negbanged to Bolivia, but it gave me a chuckle and I wanted to share it before someone took the edit down. Hey, maybe Brian can use it as some humor/snark material for UV.

Rutgers. Love the enthusiasm.
In similarly-probable events: I also expect to go 10-2...with this year's Playboy cover models.
Have you seen Rutger's enthusiasm for the ticket prices when they play Michigan. I couldn't believe it. No ticket's under $100. I was going to try and go but I might have to rethink it now.
Between seeing their "signature Big Ten victory" against Brady Hoke's worst team on BTN as the only "Rutgers Football Classic" and listening to the bleatings of Michigan-hater Chris Ash, they think they belong on the same field as Michigan. The good part: Harbaugh is fully aware and Rutgers isn't going to "sneak up" on Michigan as long as he is the head coach.

Wait... What?
If it's on the Internet, it must be true.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:22 PM ^
Ha!!! I see 2-10.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:22 PM ^
I suppose there is always the chance of fluke luck occuring, but how do they expect to put up 39 points against Michigan?
August 1st, 2016 at 12:26 PM ^
18 safeties and a field goal?
August 1st, 2016 at 12:23 PM ^
Good luck with that.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:23 PM ^
And they're going to score 39 points on UM. Seems legit.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:24 PM ^
The best expectations for Rutgers would be no expectations.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:24 PM ^
I think the most hilarious part is watching the presumptive poll movement. Let's say Rutgers does go on a tear and somehow... wins 7 games in a row (6 of which are apparently in the top 25)... that only jumps them from 25th to 16th.
I mean, they obviously think highly of the Big Ten having all but one of their conference games against ranked opponents (including Minnesota and Maryland, lol).
This is great comic relief.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:40 PM ^
Nah the attendance figures are the funny part to me. 10-2 and still only one game at or above stadium capacity (the game against Michigan)
I noticed that too. Even in their dreams they dont sell out
what's the capacity at SCCS ?
August 1st, 2016 at 11:24 PM ^
It would appear to be "0.01 humanoid objects" according to the wiki page.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:25 PM ^
I'll have some of whatever they're taking.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:27 PM ^
That is a lot of Optimism!!
August 1st, 2016 at 12:27 PM ^
I can expect to marry Margot Robbie, but the difference between me expecting it and it actually happening are galaxies apart.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
So you're saying there is a chance?
August 1st, 2016 at 12:27 PM ^
Actually - they will go 10-2 in the regualr season. They will then move to the West Division and lose again to Ohio State in the B1G Championship before beating Arizona in the Fiesta Bowl.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:28 PM ^
At least they didn't predict 15-0 like Lou Holtz
August 1st, 2016 at 12:28 PM ^
Where is all this offensive firepower coming from?
August 1st, 2016 at 12:29 PM ^
Averaging 35 points a game? They do realize they got ash and not Herman correct?
August 1st, 2016 at 12:29 PM ^
I mean they are going to lose their first game against Washington.
The "projection" of them going into Seattle and winning 26-7 is pretty hilarious.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:30 PM ^
But they expect to put up 30 on the Buckeyes in Columbus. I almost want to check out 11W to find out the ...
No, I don't need to do that. Never mind.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:56 PM ^
Maryland's train wreck of an offense put up 28 points in Columbus last year. I remember my mouth being on the floor every time I checked for a score update on that one.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:31 PM ^
a Powerball jackpot.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:31 PM ^
I love how, in their intense optimism, that when they have a theoretical 8-2 team hosting a ranked Penn State, they still only project 38,000 in attendance.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:32 PM ^
You guys are making them relevant by the time and space you use to talk about them

Why were you on Rutgers's 2016 football team page again?
August 1st, 2016 at 12:41 PM ^
Exactly. Who looks up Rutgers 2016 Football Team on wiki?
August 1st, 2016 at 12:47 PM ^
editing their page?
August 1st, 2016 at 12:44 PM ^
That's what I want to know too.
I was browsing the schedules of Michigan's opponents. My work computer has insanely low bandwidth so it can't handle pages with ads. I normally look on fbschedules.com, but wiki has no ads and runs much smoother.
I saw it, laughed, and decided to share.
Agent Scully got a lot better once she stopped the whole 'denying the paranormal whilst facing the paranormal on a weekly basis' thing.
August 1st, 2016 at 11:54 PM ^
Will always upvote Agent Scully
August 1st, 2016 at 12:41 PM ^
I see they decided to decline the bowl invite.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:45 PM ^
They're taking a page out of Harbaugh's book and setting the highest expectations. I can appreciate that.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:45 PM ^
A Rutgers blogger wrote a legitimate opinion on why they can and will become the LSU of the Northeast. They're not exactly rational.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:48 PM ^
Only 49.999 people attended the Indiana game. I wonder if the 50th guy had his arm hanging outside so he didn't fully count.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:49 PM ^
They will finish last in the East.
August 1st, 2016 at 12:52 PM ^
and they have the attendance for the Indiana game higher than the PSU game
edit: didn't see the Indiana game had a "." not a ","
August 1st, 2016 at 12:53 PM ^
Those are low expectations for "Lsu of the northeast"
