The odds of winning are higher if the team plays well regardless of opponents.

Exactly

Again, it’s highly speculative to say the odds of winning are higher if the team plays well regardless of the opponent. There is a soccer pyramid that takes effect. If a top 20 team plays a top mid major club and the mid major club plays well against a top 20 team the talent level is so much greater regardless how well the mid major team is playing. The quality and difference in talent is too much. Your “regardless of opponents” does not take in account the depth and quality of talent. Maybe you should rethink it again.

sorta like when Brown owned Rutgers in the NCAA tourney last year.

That is just plain stupid. Playing well is dependent and determined on what one witnesses in the game being played so by default/has to take into account the talent level of the opponent. Talk about dense.

A mid major team playing their best against a higher level of talent and getting their *** kicked in reality didn't play well.

And the majority (other than a few) mid major teams can't play well even against themselves/lesser opponents.

Not a difficult concept for most. I understand the new world order thinks everything and everyone is special but that just isn't the case.

If there was a relegation zone it would give this thread some more life. Does Rutgers win another divisional game?

RU v Neb game was good. Hard to win in NB.

1-2-1 conference play is not a good start. The squad will have to pick it up. I believe Rutgers is no longer ranked in top 25.

We're they in top 25? Play last year did not warrant it. They are getting better as they play together. MO has been working through some new players and how they fit or not in the line up.

Lost to Iowa today.

1-3-1 conference play.

perhaps they need a bit more real player development at the Rutgers academy, and not over focus on winning and recruiting at younger ages?

This has been discussed before. The best players they develop don't go to Rutgers

They don't develop players has also been discussed. PDA just collects them from surrounding clubs. Barry Switzer could win with any PDA Blue lineup.

Hard to win in Iowa too I suppose. Only 2 shots on goal in 90 minutes is kinda sad.

Perhaps- but they are all still better players and smarter than your daughter.
