Had we split the 6 we lost we’d be in awesome shape

10 games left, even if we win 7 of them would we get back onto the bubble?

Currently 3-7 in conference, to get to 10 seems like a very tall task. It's a crime we didn't go 2-2 at minimum on those winnable games of @Cockeye, Rutgers, @Maryland, USC. Shit, Getting ONE of those wins makes the path so much easier. That Rutgers loss, Jesus Christ.
Remaining Games:
@ #16 Oregon - L - Lost 3 of 4, prior to that they had 3 wins against PSU, OSU, Maryland that were all close. Not impossible to sneak out with a W, but this looks to be an L
@ Washington - W - Worst team in the league - Must win road game to get this thing to 10 wins
Ohio St - W - This is probably the make or break game. Winnable game at home against a team that looks like a copy of Nebraska. A win gives hope and momentum
Maryland - W (Toss) - If we had that win on the road...fuck. This team will beat Illinois & Wisconsin, but lose to NW and Wash. If we pull this win off, the path becomes realistic. A loss doesn't end the dream, but it gets a lot harder
@ Northwestern - W (Toss) - I don't think we win this game, but we can, and we have to to get to 10, unless the Mich upset at home happens
@ Penn St - W - Scrappy .500 team, but winnable game on the road
Michigan - L - Is this the game where The Bank is going crazy and every shot drops for Nebraska and we all start looking at travel options for NCAA sites? Would love it to be true, but don't think it will. If they can win this game, a loss on the road to NW or PSU is nullified
Minnesota - W - Thank god this is at home, winnable game but they are a team that can ruin dreams.
@Ohio St - L - Only hope is that Ohio St has slid into 'fuck this season' mode at this point. Would be a huge get on the road, can flip this to a W with an L at NW and stay on course
Cockeye - W - Fuck Cockeye

Win at Oregon and I'll think about it.

Rutgers loss doesn't pain me as much as Cockeye and USC.
Rutgers is what it is. Those two DUDES that they have are capable of doing crazy shit on any given night. Ace Bailey is making a case to be the #1 overall pick.

If you win 7 of the last 10 you’re in. Pretty solidly. That would mean that you added no less than 3 Q1 wins to your resume and still don’t have a “bad loss.”

Yeah fair point, guess it was just how that game went down that frustrated me, but now that I think about it, Cockeye collapse was worse.
Not getting that Maryland win on the road, which was very doable, probably the worst one of the bunch resume wise

We are currently on the bubble across multiple brackets, even before the Illinois game.

If we won seven more games (unlikely), I’m pretty confident we’d for sure be in at that point.

They are on the bubble. I think a lot of people were unaware of how safe Nebraska was just 3 weeks ago. Hell, they were potentially a 6 or 7 seed after beating UCLA.

I'm leaning towards 9-11 in the B1G gets us in.

I think 10-10 would avoid Dayton. 9-11 you're either not getting in or getting shipped to Dayton for the play-in game. It'd depend on what teams around us have done up to that point. Having a names like North Carolina and Indiana by us on the bubble also isn't ideal.

7-3 would have us at 10-10. We would 100% be in. Analytics are also saying 6-4, 9-11 would give us greater than 70% chance to be in.
