8 games left....How many of them do we win?

[seaofred92]

Call me crazy, but I think this team goes 5-3 the rest of the way. I think we're going to come out Friday and put together a decently solid performance. What that looks like on the scoreboard I'm not sure, but I think NU can and will win this game by 10-14 points. Something like 24-10 or 24-14. 

Then, it really comes down to how we play against Wisconsin. Crazier things have happened and we've played them well since HCMR has been here. Truth be told there's no reason we can't beat anyone on our schedule besides tOSU and PSU.

I chose 3 more wins, and that's being optimistic.  Illinois is about the only sure win left on the schedule, maybe Northwestern depending on how they're doing by the time we play them.  Maybe we get lucky and catch Minnesota and Purdue on an off day.  Those 3 games are essentially tossup as far as I'm concerned.  Could see us getting 1 of em.  Unless a fluke happens I think it's safe to assume Wisconsin, Ohio St, Penn St, and Iowa are all losses.

Can't believe they have Iowa in the win category.  After watching them play Penn St I just have a hard time seeing it.

Bill's numbers has us 1 spot above Iowa.
