Bowl Eligibility Shakedown, Week 8

IN

Penn St. (8-0, 4-0)

Ohio St. (7-1, 4-0)

Michigan St. (6-2, 3-1)

Minnesota (6-1, 2-1)

Northwestern (6-1, 2-1)

Good Position

Iowa (5-3, 2-2) Games @ Ill, vs. PSU, vs. Purdue, @ MN.  The Squawkeyes should thank whatever it is they pray to for Purdue.

Illinois (4-3, 2-2) Games @ UW, vs. Iowa, @ WMU, vs. OSU, and @ Northwestern.  They should be in, but nothing is given for a team coached by [REDACTED]

Work to do

Wisconsin (3-4, 0-4) Games @ ILL, @ MSU, @ IU, vs. MN, vs. Cal Poly.  If they don't beat Minnesota, they're probably on the outside looking in.

Better Luck Next Year

Michigan (2-5, 1-2) 2 losses put them out of bowl contention.  Michigan St., Minnesota, and Ohio State should provide 3.

Purdue (2-5, 0-3)  I said they quit 3 weeks ago.  I was wrong.  They put up a valiant fight against Ohio St. before packing it in.  The Old Oaken Bucket game shouldn't be televised, for the sake of the children.

Indiana (2-5, 0-4)  I feel bad for them.  I honestly do.  It's just not fair.  To lose Terry Hoeppner was tragic.  To replace him with Bill Lynch was criminal.
