Fresh off a 10-3 victory over Cincinnati on Saturday, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights received a top-20 ranking in this week's installment of SB Nation's BlogPoll. The BlogPoll is compiled by tabulating the Top 25 rankings according to all of the college football-centric sites in the SB Nation network, in addition to contributions from sites outside the network.

The highest vote Rutgers received this week was No. 15 overall. Two sites ranked the Scarlet Knights at No. 15; one came from the Purdue Boilermakers blog, Hammer and Rails, while the other vote came from Nebraska Cornhuskers blog, Corn Nation. Rutgers also received several votes at No. 17 overall and one vote at No. 18. The majority of the voters placed Rutgers in the range from No. 19-21 overall.
