CBS Sports has released its annual power rankings of the Power 5 conference coaches.
Rutgers' Chris Ash is ranked 60th (out of 65) on the Big Ten-dominated list. It's a five-spot jump from last season, when he was ranked 65th.
"Rutgers saw improvement in Ash's second season, going from 2-10 to 4-8," CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli wrote. "If they can do the same this year, he'll climb further."
The list is highly subjective, of course. Maryland's D.J. Durkin is ranked 45th for some odd reason. But it is an interesting Talking Season fixture.
