Rutgers Football: Choosing an out of conference rival

One of the things that irks many Rutgers fans in their lack of an in-conference rival. Everyone wants a rivalry with Penn State, but Rutgers has yet to show anything on the field that indicates they are ready to have a rivalry. Some could say that the two thrillers between Rutgers and Maryland warrants a rivalry, though the history isn't there. In a few years, I could see that as a big-time rivalry game.

However, wouldn't it be nice for Rutgers to have a huge out of conference rivalry game. Think of Clemson vs South Carolina, Florida vs Florida State, or Michigan vs Notre Dame.
