I know Schiano wanted to keep Navy when he first arrived so I have no problem with them on the schedule. When they decided on Buffalo/Army the team was still struggling and the Star-Ledger(local newspaper) was ecstatic that Schiano was able to keep those two teams on the schedule instead of scheduling big schools and getting trounced. Of course, 3 years later it looks dumb and most likely Rutgers will get criticized, especially if they are doing well.

I think UNC will be a wash soon, as you said they should be respectable soon and could become a good game. And it will be interesting to see ND in 2010. If Rutgers can continue to dominate NJ(and MD/NY) in recruiting that could become a decent little semi-rivalry.

We'll have to see on the 12th game from year to year, I still hate that they play 12 games now but maybe they can take advantage of it and schedule Penn State or get Michigan State back on the schedule. Those would be the two teams I would like to see.
