Pre-season magazines generate all kinds of buzz and interest. We started yesterday with Athlon's assessment of Rutgers and the Big Ten. Today we look at ESPN.
National magazine previews are out, and we're taking a look at a few and how they assess Rutgers' chances in its third season in the Big Ten. Yesterday, we looked at Athlon Sports' take on the Knights. Today, it's the "World Wide Leader". New day, new magazine, same results.
ESPN puts the Knights last in the East Division, coming up with 4.8 wins (their FPI - projection), likely beating Howard, New Mexico, Illinois, and Indiana.
