      Think in football terms Alabama is elite, Cincinnati is having a great season.
      If they keep having seasons like this, then "elite" can be bandied about. They're not there yet but should be very proud of their season.

        Check in again next season. This season was special for sure. That said Rutgers is a rebuild program rather than a reload program. That’s what separates them from an FSU. Significant pieces are graduating. We’ll see.

          Elite Programs. This list should answer the question.

          Great job RU. Elite? A little soon for that.

            i dont agree. They need to play other elite teams more often. Which elite program have they beaten this year? Penalty wins or losses are draws.

              There have been 38 women’s college cups [39 including this year].

              UNC has been in 29 final fours and won 21 titles and most recent final four last year. No other program even compares. UNC is the sole elite program when considering legacy, titles and most recent appearances in finals. Other programs in the tier below are very good with titles and appearances in final four within the last ten years such as FSU, Stanford, UCLA, Santa Clara and Penn St. In my opinion, Rutgers is making its way into the second tier with another final four appearance/title in the next few years and that’s nothing to sneeze at.

              GO RU

                Santa Clara, Notre Dame, Stanford, FSU. 10+

                RU has 2. It will take a few more than 3 to put them in tier 2. Let’s agree they are tier 3 or top 15 in terms of programs.

                  Don’t disagree but a title in the next few years elevates the perception of the program sooner. Lots of talent in NJ regardless of club to help make that happen.

                  GO RU

                    Great season so glad we got to see them.

                      RU won the matches that they were favored to get to the Championship Cub. After the first 10 minutes RU settled down and never lost there shape and played well defensively. It took a great goalie to make some great plays. FSU goal only came on a set piece ball into the box that then had a lucky bounce. That’s it! RU was in this game till the end. You cannot ask for more. No one is saying RU is elite but they are a top 15 program who consistently make the Big Ten tournament and the NCAA Tournament. That’s a winning program.

                        RU has two trips to cup; zero to finals and no national trophy. Top 15? No. They have to overcome 2018 and 2019 first game outs, especially 2019 to CCSU. Make the sweet sixteen consecutively for a few and then let's circle back.

                        Let this season simmer. Enjoy the accomplishments. Quit looking for more than earned yet.

                          Quit making it more than it was. RU is not a top 15; not yet. Keep working on it. Consistency is the key. Get a trophy other than regular season champ. That is what it takes.

                            Rutgers Women’s Soccer is this Years Cincinnati Bearcats Football. Good job. Next year they will fall back into the Who? category. If you don’t think so go study their roster and you’ll realize what’s about to happen.

                              To preface, I'm not a RU fan. That being said, you realize rankings are only for the current year, yes?
