I'm seeing some pretty realistic paths to 9-9 and I would think that would put them in should they beat a ranked team along the way. I'm getting a little giddy. Wow your schedule is very favorable. UM, OSU, MSU, and IL as your 1 gamers. And you get the 2 lesser teams of that group at home. There's really only 4 games that I think we can't win at all and those are the road games @ Michigan, Indiana, Ohio State and Minnesota. It's a nice change from the last few years. Go 9-5 in the other 14 and they are .500.
