Over the past month, there has been a growing consensus that Rutgers is heading for a bowl game. This Saturday, in their season finale, they can reach bowl eligibility with a win against Maryland.
A win would see Rutgers at 6-6 and put them in a position for a bowl game for the first time since 2014.
In their update over the weekend, ESPN FPI projects Rutgers to beat Maryland on Saturday. The flurry of bowl projections from the weekend also has Rutgers heading for a bowl game.
The most popular landing spot in four of the five projections is a familiar one for Rutgers. In fact, it was the location of their last bowl appearance under then head coach Kyle Flood. Just a small hint there.
A bowl game would be a huge accomplishment for Rutgers, now in their second season of a rebuild under head coach Greg Schiano. A bowl appearance would absolutely show momentum and help Rutgers on the recruiting trail heading into a very important offseason for the program.
