When Rutgers entered the Big Ten, a gauntlet of big-time programs awaited. From Penn State to Ohio State to Michigan, weekly tests would face the team during the conference schedule.

With a reeling Michigan team preparing to invade High Point Solutions Stadium on Saturday evening, this week is no different. Except, despite the pedigree and high-caliber recruits throughout the Wolverines roster, the current version of Michigan's team is below average and underdogs to the 4-1 Scarlet Knights.

As the calender turns to October and Rutgers dives into the deep portion of Big Ten play, this week's challenge is to not overlook a talented Wolverines team that's desperate for a victory.

Suddenly, Rutgers-Michigan has become a trap game for Kyle Flood's team.

Are you worried about Rutgers overlooking Michigan? Should the Scarlet Knights be favored? How much do you expect Michigan's off-the-field issues to hamper their play on Saturday?
