Rutgers getting no love

http://www.carolinamarch.com/story/2006/11/11/222831/39

The Scarlet Knights of Rutgers are getting no love after their win over undefeated Louisville, moving up to only to 8th in the AP and 6th in the BCS. Is it because they're Rutgers? I think so, their lack of a football tradition is hurting them now that they are good, because the human polls do not give them the credit they deserve. Remember, Louisville was being talked about as a national title contender, but now that Rutgers is the unbeaten team from the Big East, all of a sudden they're not a championship contender. Why is this?
