Spring camp is a time for college football teams like Rutgers to focus on their own thing, working to get better over the course of 12 practices and three scrimmages.
But the reality is, Rutgers' chances for significant improvement in the Big Ten will be dependent on how much other teams lose from last season.
With that in mind, here is a look at which Big Ten teams return the most from last season, according to information provided by the schools earlier this spring.
2016 record: 7-6; Big Ten: 5-4 (T-4th/West Division);
A case can be made that the Wildcats posted the best bowl win of any Big Ten program, as they rolled to a 31-24 Pinstripe Bowl triumph over a Pittsburgh team that had knocked off Clemson and Penn State his season.
