What are some good, solid colleges for math besides Ivy League schools? Is Rutgers University good?

At the undergraduate level pretty much every college and university will have the same quality of math education. Where do you think all those ivy league trained math professors reside? They are found everywhere, many at your in state school. BUt if I remember correctly Rutgers is supposed to be good, I think I remember one of my professors saying they are one of the top reasearch departments in the world in combinatorics(or maybe it was algebra-I forget).
