I did some research and crunched some numbers on Rutgers football this season to see what we could expect in 2014. I decided I would compare them to the Big Ten school most like them. I noticed that Rutgers' total team defense ranking was 14. MSU's is 7. Rutgers' team offense ranking is 96. MSU's is 94. So I decided to compare teams to stop people from saying "Rutgers plays in the Big East, so they are way worse than any Big Ten team.
Rutgers total offense: 96 Mich St. total offense: 94
Rutgers total defense: 14 Mich St. total defense: 7
The average offensive ranking of teams played by Rutgers: 67.7 The average offensive ranking of teams played by Mich St.: 66.7
The average defensive ranking of teams played by Rutgers: 69.1 The average defensive ranking of teams played by Mich St.: 47.3
MSU plays slightly tougher defenses (the difference between 47 and 69 is only 28 yards per game) but Rutgers scores more efficiently.
Mich St. has scored 23 TDs Rutgers has scored 32 TDs
Mich St. scoring offense: 108 Rutgers scoring offense: 87
THESE ARE THE SAME TEAMS. Rutgers can just score more than MSU.

So in order to statistically defend Rutgers' play, you bring up the fact that they play in arguably one of the worst conferences? Got it. MSU is not a Big Least team. They only realized once the "group of five" started in 2014 that they were on the same field as the Sun Belt and chose the best suitor to bolster their strength of schedule.

Rutgers: Not such a bad fit after all?
