Another High Rutgers Pre-Season Ranking, or fans putting their money where their hearts are

This list of the 50 most expensive games of the upcoming football season finds Rutgers vs. West Virginia at R House in position #12 with an average ticket agency price of $495. It's the most expensive game involving Big East teams.
The only other Big East games on the list are Louisville at West Virginia in position 20 ($379), Rutgers at Louisville in position 26 ($305), and one non-conference regional rivalry, Louisville at Kentucky, in position 47 ($179).

I guess it's priced fairly because this RU-WVU game with the twelfth-highest preseason price is ranked by SI.com today as game #11 in the top 20 games of the coming season: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/multimedia/photo_gallery/0708/top.cfb.games.watch/content.10.html
