ESPN: Kansas vs. Rutgers is the game you have not been waiting for

[BleedGopher]

per ESPN:

Rutgers played in the first college football game in 1869, so the Scarlet Knights are historically important to the sport. Same with Kansas. It started playing football in 1890, and its notable alumni include Pro Football Hall of Famers Gale Sayers and John Riggins.

Rutgers finished 11-2 in 2006 and ranked 12th. Kansas finished 12-1 and ranked seventh in 2007 after winning the Orange Bowl.

So what follows might seem disrespectful to both programs. It is perhaps unfortunate that this little ditty might seem as though it encourages college football fans to leap into the air and click their heels together with sadistic glee over the fact that, at the very least, their team isn't Rutgers or Kansas. Call this sentence an apology in advance.

But, really, come on! It's absolutely irresistible that the two top candidates for "Power 5 Dumpster Fire Team of the Year" are playing each other on Saturday. It's just too freakin' rich.

Yup, they're horrible programs. But how depressing is it that both teams have had at least one better season in the past 10 years than Minnesota has had since the 60's?! Piling on: NW and Purdue have been to Rose Bowls in the recent past.
